Feedback from previous attendees of Virtual Classroom course

"The course instructor is a knowledgeable person and takes attention to detail. I particularly enjoy when actual examples are given, for instance when something goes wrong and what to do in those situations, or what have we learnt from that mistake."  Celia Lourenco, Research Fellow, Cranfield University, August 2022.
