Concepts covered were well explained by the facilitator, who provided a lot of summarised documents, crosswords, and practice questions, which were very useful for revision.
,
The practice papers helped to seal in the theory learnt. The facilitator explains concepts and theories very well and ensures everyone understands before moving on. The programme is well-paced and well-structured with multiple breaks and alone time to do the exercises so that helps to prevent auditory fatigue.
,
The content was delivered in a very clear and concise manner that built up over the training duration and gave me a deeper and more structured understanding of testing. The facilitator was also very helpful in addressing queries.
