A few comments from attendees of previous courses

“Really useful having us take turns to present as it meant we had to participate. Leader made sure everyone was ok before moving on.”

“I’ve heard many things about Python and the ease with which it can process data. I found the manner it which it was presented and the use of the notebooks erased the need for breakpoints and watch windows and made the process much more friendly than other analysis tools.”

“The trainer did an excellent job. He was patient, well detailed and I understood all he taught.”
