Being exposed to such training courses for the very first time, I had a great experience in everything such as the organizing efforts, technical preparation for easier understanding, and the above all, the content, which was quite enlightening...
The pace was a little slower, but the later part caught up. The video flow was not that much smooth, and this might be somewhat a pity, for we're unable to completely appreciate the live performance.

Anyway, it's worth attending the training course both in time and dollars.
Thank you very much, Claudia, for your professionalism and friendliness, and the outstanding organizing work provided by Soledad. ▲ Collapse
