"Good pace, content and details.
Would love to explore these topics (and more) in further details... basically, what next scenarios."

"I just want to put it in writing that Atlas as a trainer was brilliant. He knew everything that was being covered and managed to communicate a huge amount of potentially confusing information in such a way that it was understandable to a variety of skill levels. If he didn't know something or wasn't overly sure, he was honest about that and found the answers in the next available break.
Would definitely consider the advanced excel course if there was a chance that he would be leading it."
