Angelina Law –
Good course, gave me more in depth understanding on what data can do to turn into results
Jason Lim –
I like that the course covers the important topics and not going too deep into the concepts but the content is also easy to digest and absorb. Maybe in the future we will ‘raise hands’ via MS Teams so as not to interrupt the trainer to let him finish explaining the concept.
Azzatul Iradah Jamaluddin –
Course requires more practitioner examples or business case.
Eric Pok Lim Boey –
Happy that we all passed the examination. The course was a bit more harder than I expected. Maybe allocate more time for exam preparation.
Ravinder Singh Ramday –
This is not a 2 and a half day course. It feels rushed despite the great content. Candidates should be given a day off at least for some self studying and more model questions prior to the exam.
