Formateur super pedagogue, qui connait très bien son sujet.

Bonne formation, mais étant donné la complexité de certains chapitres, c'est compliqué de rester concentré 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.

Komt tot de kern, goede en logische structuur en is ideaal voor mensen die zijdelings te maken hebben met het IT domein.
