Gunnar was a great trainer. He pitched the training at the right level given the varying levels of experience and expertise of the attendees. He was very personable and injected as much as excitement and humour as he could across the 2 days. He made sure that we were engaged throughout and tried to ensure that all our questions were answered in an open and honest manner.
