Improvement actions
Improvement actions
training duration: from 1 to 2 weeks
To be able to apply everything you learn during the course, I would benefit from a bit more time to prepare the assignments.
Improvement actions
additional live session, from training 3
One week is not enough. Maybe the course could have been spread over 2 weeks and included more live sessions with the trainer highlighting important concepts.
extra live session for technical training 7
Improvement actions
Increase maximum number of registrations in EU learn (60 => 70)
High no show rates for the live sessions (50%)
Improvement actions
Extended exercises and assignments
Relevant, timely examples, participants are encouraged to apply the content of the training in the assignments
Quiz are nice added value to the training.

Add an indicative timeline and maybe a bit more time for the practices
