Hunter is fabulous, very engaging, extremely knowledgeable and personable. Very well done.
Rick Johnson - Laramie County Community College
Course - Artificial Intelligence (AI) Overview
The trainer was a professional in the subject field and related theory with application excellently
Fahad Malalla - Tatweer Petroleum
Course - Applied AI from Scratch in Python
It was very interactive and more relaxed and informal than expected. We covered lots of topics in the time and the trainer was always receptive to talking more in detail or more generally about the topics and how they were related. I feel the training has given me the tools to continue learning as opposed to it being a one off session where learning stops once you've finished which is very important given the scale and complexity of the topic.
