The concept was well explained by the trainer. It would be good to have a physical session as well.
Her Wei Yong –
Interactive courses, which can learn in practical way instead of fully theory classes. It is better to have the course in f2f, so the time will be easier to control.

The trainer was engaged all students and training material is well structured, explained and relatable to business. John is a good and well experienced trainer. He conducted the class well and it can be related to our organisation.
Julie Cheng –
First, I would like to praise the trainer John on his training style to make this dry topic more fun and a bit easy for us to understand on the context and application.
The pace of the training was good but overall a bit dry. Suggest to have some simulation of role play. To make it more fun, start with role play as a warm up session before starting the content of the course. Next to relate the role play back to the context of the training topic. On the follow up role play, participant can be more engage and relate to the context, and able to observed the relationship.
With this, I feel it can prepare the participants for the prototype simulation better.
Daljit Singh Gajit Singh –
Mr Johnwee Lee has created a very conducive environment and make this course easy for digestion for any level of role. There method can be used by any employees. Will definitely recommend this course to all colleagues around me. Course duration with slightly longer hours will be perfect.
