Ethan Bennett - Sustainalytics
Course - Microsoft Power Automate
That is was very interactive, Shaun was very open to listen and answer to every question we had, in some cases he offered tips also outside the scope of the training (i.e. Power Automate desktop, Power Apps, Power Bi). Shaun as a trainer has a really natural style, it was not like "following a script and lecture" - this made the training really comfortable and not formal at all.
