Statistics and Array manipulation, Khobeib was able to spend time working through specific analytical questions with us and demonstrate custom calculations and solutions to our questions. Khobeib was also able to adjust the training to our pace and level of understanding. Having worked with data for some time some of the intermediate level core subjects were not required. To his credit Khobeib took this on board and moved through the contents at a speed relevant to our knowledge and understanding.
