I attended this course recently (remotely). Andy was an exceptional trainer - he shared his vast knowledge, was always approachable and willing to answer all questions. The course slides and learning notes were very detailed. The course is intense - however if you are willing to put the hard work in you are rewarded. I was delighted to pass both exams, and I'm even now considering other courses I can do with ITG.

Because I work part-time, a self-paced online course is ideal. This is a good quality, detailed course and I'm learning so much even at a Foundation level. My 2 gripes are: I'm hard of hearing and so would benefit from subtitles on the presentations; some of the test questions required very specific wording - I didn't get some of the questions wrong but I didn't use precise w3ording so failed the question, e.g. I wrote "this is special category data" instead of just "special category data". I hope the exam is not like this. Otherwise a great course and would definitely recommend.
