Reviews for Russell’s courses

The speaker was engaging and informative - answer[ing] all questions posed in a clear manner, also tailored the training to the group. The pace was well suited to the level of understanding - for example, cover[ing] some topics that were not applicable to our organisation in lighter detail, and spending more time on the areas that were applicable to us. Overall, the content was well pitched and I found I met my intended objectives.
