3. How do you find the training environment

I came into this course without expecting much. Having been unemployed for the past 6 months and facing yet another existential crisis in life, I thought there's nothing to lose for me to spend my weekend with a WSQ+Skillsfuture subsidized course. But my naive perspective had been completely changed by Dr Alvin Ang's passion and vast knowledge, experience and wisdom.

Just after 2 days of learning under Dr Alvin, I have mastered Tableau, learned what effective teaching is like, and regained confidence in my professional life.

My deepest gratitude for Dr Alvin, Tertiary Course, and WSG for making this course available. I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in the field of data science/analyst to take up the Tableau courses under Dr Alvin Ang. (Posted on 3/24/2024)

Dr Alvin Ang was my trainer at Tertiary Infotech and it is a blessing to have him coach me! He did not just teach me on the course objectives (of Data Storytelling with Tableau) but was constantly finding ways to value-add me. He took time to find out my job scope so that he could tailor his teachings such that it is relevant for me.

His sincerity in imparting his wealth of knowledge really inspired me. Anyone who crosses path with Alvin will walk away benefitted with insights and knowledge!

Thank you Alvin (: (Posted on 3/14/2023)

Not related to the course itself; but we signed up for the course as we were informed by HTA that it was a basic course without mentioning there is a prerequisite of Tableau knowledge. Just a note, maybe to include that participants are required to know Tableau knowledge on the website so participants are aware. (Posted on 12/22/2022)
