Instructor comments: without question, Dave Askey knows his material!!! great instructor that gave a personalized approach.

Facilities comments: class was taught in a hotel reception area, very nice, quiet and convenient for all people

User: synistry

Instructor comments: Dave was great! (as always). Wealth of knowledge and a master at customizing course content to match the education level of his students. The class kept entirely in pace with where we were at as a group overall on a day to day basis.

Facilities comments: Facilities were overall really nice. The only complaint is that the hotel / conference center had us move rooms on one occasion, and kicked us out early on two others. I would assume this is due to the last minute location change, so I don't think there is anything anyone could have done better in the situation.
