Pete was highly effective at delivering the training material in a way that was easily consumed by myself and my classmates. He was very open to questions and would assist with solving questions that were related to the course but not directly tied to the course material.
Pete knows his stuff, and can easily get that across. His willingness to answer questions and assist whenever needed was greatly appreciated.
