It was such a pleasure having Mr Brown as an instructor. At first I wasn’t too sure about getting started due to me becoming overwhelmed easily. However, the class was so organized and structured I was able to successfully complete the course with minimum stress. Also Mr Brown answered all questions in a timely manner via email. I was very pleased.
