There are various multiple-choice Q&A’s in every section to test your quick grasp of the topics and understanding of the Lecture. There are also a few thought provoking questions to make you think during the various phases of Lecture.
All these Lectures have been prepared keeping in mind simplicity of delivery and for facilitating a good grasp of all topics covered in the course. With my diversified global experience of nearly 27+ years across various parts of the world and having worked with many different cultures, I always believe that Trainer should step into the Learner's shoe, while preparing the Learning material. This mind-set helps in ensuring high quality, strong retention and overall enjoyable learning experience.
After course completion, I would also request your valuable feedback, as this greatly helps to improve the quality of new courses.
