Richard was engaging, well-informed, delivered the training at a good pace and on top of all of that had a great sense of humour. Really, really glad I attended this training as I learned a lot and had a good time too.

I'd mostly just cut down on the Skype training, but I'm not sure everyone would say the same as there may well have been people who haven't used it much.

Thanks for a great session!
