Formateur super pedagogue, qui connait très bien son sujet.

Bbonne formation, mais étant donné la complexité de certains chapitres, c'est compliqué de rester concentrer jusqu'à la fin. Peut-être l'étaler sur 3 matinées

J'ai apprécié la manière dont Arnout a donné la formation et les interactions entre lui et nous.
