I very much appreciated the way the trainer presented everything. I understood everything even if Finance is not my area, he made sure that every participant was on the same page, while keeping up with the time left. The exercises were placed at good intervals. Communication with the participants was always there. The material was perfect, not too much, not too little. He elaborated very well on a bit more complicated subjects so that it can be understood by everyone.
