Instructor Ali Sekhavati is super fun and had engaging and interactive lessons!!! 😃 Thank you! -Free parking -Restaurants: Subway, Tim Hortons, Burger King walking distance- other eating options are available too. – Well-paced lessons with a lot of opportunities to practice and breaks given were great! – class sizes are very well manageable- instructor was able to give attention to each participant during practices. -Assessment is in person on the same day at the end of the training.
