max - QA tester & Junior Developer
Second time I've had a course run by Kevin and to be honest I cant fault them. He always goes into depth and doesn't mind explaining a problem in detail. He accommodates for everything you may need and gets across as much detail as possible in a way in which you can understand it and take it in. Cant recommend him enough!
