After discussing our requirements with your Trainer, he was able to develop us a tailored course which focused on our specific UML needs for our job role, fitted in with our current project management model, and which linked in with the training he had already given to the architects.
In addition to the course content, your Trainer was able to offer a lot of useful advice on how we might take things forward to integrate the modelling techniques into our processes.
Please pass on my thanks to your Trainer for an excellent course and for his useful advice. This has gone a long way towards helping us develop a consistent and efficient process for modelling and for developing a more unified approach to Projects
