    I really love the course. The sessions were concise but full of the key knowledge. The proportion of practical and thoerical session was excellent. All the information was clear and the option of using a "Hint" if needed is a nice inlusion. For the first time I am feeling I am really learning from a remote lesson. Excited to explore and learn more!
