A vast amount of material and knowledge
Sep 27, 2013
Very good webinar, very clear, not many participated, was glad someone asked for an explanation of a term as people seem to be terrified of asking when they do not understand. Ms. Bauer was very well prepared, had organised her session well, no breaks, so no waste of time, though session could not possibly be longer. Voice and speech very clear. Well done.

"While the contents and material provided great background info on the course, I feel we would have b..." Read moreenefited from more terminology and definitions. I was unable to attend the webinar and so had to watch it later as a video on Proz. I would have liked to see the trainer actually talking in the video rather than just static slides, which were very boring to look at."
