Feedback

M2 Education

James is evidently very passionate about his role which really shows in his training. Takes the time to ensure everyone is up to speed, understands and that there is no confusion before moving on. Even via video, it felt like in person training where we were free to share and discuss our own experiences. Very much enjoyed and appreciated.
