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.

Improvement actions

indicative study plan added to materials

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