“Excellent, Knowledgeable trainer (Beth). I’ve done this course numerous times with Acorn and I always learn new things, not just updates. Additional information was always relevant and helpful to increase understanding. No question was made to feel irrelevant and was given the opportunity to be discussed. I liked the mix and pace of subject matter.”
