    "It's a good learning experience with Pritesh! He spent time to help me going through both 7th and 8th edition and giving exam tips. Appreciate it!"

    Rachel Valentina

    (5.0/5)

    "In terms of content, all good. But poor time management. Time expected for breaks was never compliant (ie. if teacher said he was taking 10 mins break, it ended up being 20. For 50 mins break, teacher was showing up AT least 10-15 mins late...) Also, during second day I asked one question about a test and teacher seem disappointed for me to ask and gave me a whole speech of me not retaining all information while reading (after hours of exhausted training) also letting me know people who does not focus tend to have Low IQ... Also, having to spend time just waiting for teacher to end notes that I guess it should have been ready already for the lesson (at least, if the teacher is expecting for the alum to memorize and know everything at once) "

    "The instructor is very knowledgeable and shared variety of examples to explain different concepts. The training was tailored to my understanding level which was very helpful. I had plenty of flexibility in break time as well as scheduling these sessions with my medical issues. Very grateful for this training and all the tips and additional materials. Thank you"

    "The training exceeded my expectations in every way. The balance between compact theory and core essentials made the content clear, focused, and immediately applicable. The learning kit was exceptionally well-prepared—high-quality materials, detailed visuals, exam questions, clear instructions, and an included exam voucher made it truly great value for the money. What stood out most was the trainer's (Pratap Kumar) authenticity and dedication. You could feel that he genuinely wanted us to learn and succeed. His honest, straightforward approach built trust and kept the session engaging from start to finish. I also appreciated the interactive format and real-life examples, which grounded the theory in everyday situations. Hearing Carlas’ experiences and comparing practices across companies brought in valuable perspective. I only wish more participants had been involved to deepen the experience exchange. Overall, this was a highly valuable, well-delivered training that left me motivated and well-equipped to put what I’ve learned into action. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for meaningful, real-world-focused learning."
