"It was an intensive and very good experience, from which I have taken away much for my current employer, their projects and myself.
Doubt appeared in colleagues and acquaintances [...], when I excitedly reported it live via smartphone.
"Seminars are normally like... When's the lunch break going to be?” No, I meant it when I said the "rules and standards? I am hooked!" The seminar also gave “what I thought was dry content” practically and lively, understandably, feasibly and memorably. Exceptional."

"I have rarely experienced such an intensive and didactic quality seminar."
