The course met expectations and objectives. Having a M&S technologist in the group was helpful. I feel i’m able to carry out my own assessment, yes, more focussed. Confident sharing with the company.

A clear knowledge of the methodology that i can follow and work on in my own workplace. The exercises were extremely useful working in groups with a wider knowledge and more ingredients, helped me apply more in-depth thought in my own work. The handouts and booklets are going to be a good tool and help explain to others in the team.
