Nick was brilliant. Understood the content. Was able to give examples and help provide context around some of the theories.
Matt P September 27, 2023
I really enjoyed the course and I thought Nick was very helpful as a trainer, explaining theories and methods in a way that we could understand. I also think it was really helpful to break down the assignments and discuss the relevant material as it made the assignments not feel so overwhelming. I really enjoyed how he was able to get all of us doing our own research and present back to the group.
