relaxed and informal environment plenty of help during worked examples

bernard hoey - University of Glasgow
Course - Arduino: Programming a Microcontroller for Beginners

I enjoyed the training was delivered by someone with experience in the field.

Nicholas Scott - University of Glasgow
Course - Arduino: Programming a Microcontroller for Beginners

I found the balance of "white board" teaching versus practical "hands-on" learning was just right for an Arduino introductory course, and the pace was also appropriate.

Neil Owen - University of Glasgow
Course - Arduino: Programming a Microcontroller for Beginners

Rod's style was entertaining.

Tom O'Hara - University of Glasgow
