Training with Richard from Apple Group, really good course. Would highly recommend Apple Group
Brilliant training course.
Good course, the course met all of my expectations, the training material provided and the practical element was very well organised.
This is the second time I have done this course in the last six years, what did open my eyes was the professionalism of the course instructor and his knowledge on the subject.
