Ann created a great environment to ask questions and learn. We had a lot of fun and also learned a lot at the same time.

Course - Introduction to the use of neural networks
It was very interactive and more relaxed and informal than expected. We covered lots of topics in the time and the trainer was always receptive to talking more in detail or more generally about the topics and how they were related. I feel the training has given me the tools to continue learning as opposed to it being a one off session where learning stops once you've finished which is very important given the scale and complexity of the topic.
