    It has provided me with the tools and techniques to accurately problem solve within my job role. The handouts and files provided were great templates for future implementation within my business role. The tutor had expansive knowledge and kept audience engaged throughout. The course flowed excellently and there was good use of practical exercises. All practical exercises and content provided enabled a quick & easy understanding of the subject.

  • Insightful course which covered everything needed

    Insightful, made me think about problem solving from a new perspective. It was useful to learn about the systematic approach covering details not previously considered. The tutor was excellent, and open to our input from our business perspective.
