Knowledge of Tableau was "built up" in a solid way, it was clear that the trainer knew how best to introduce newbies to Tableau, this made it seem very easy.

almost every topic we had the chance to do it ourselves and that really help us learn it easier
AIGSS- BPI
The trainer answered all of my questions and gives us a walkthrough.
Mark Xavier Rimas - AIGSS- BPI
seeing how Tableau could be used for our business and cut down on basically everything, time, effort, FTEs

It gave me a good introduction to Tableau, enough to get me started.
Mary Buckley - Tech NorthWest Skillnet
Hit all the topics that I wanted covered - I thought the pace was just right and top marks to the trainer, Richard, who knew his stuff and was a really nice guy :).
Tech NorthWest Skillnet
Showing us how to make maps in Tableau, and all their possibilities.
Sabine Kerssens - Techleap.nl
Very interactive & Richard was incredibly supportive and encouraging
Kathy McAlynn Rogan - Tech NorthWest Skillnet
The hands on approach which allowed us to follow in the Tableau app as the trainer was demonstrating. This made me feel like I was actually learning.
Tech NorthWest Skillnet
I loved the idea of working on the desktop so that Richard could see what we were doing and we could see him, however it was a bit distracting toggling between his desktop and mine. When I was working on mine while following him the writing on the screen was so small but loved the concept of working on the virtual but its a bit the dual screen capability wasn't available so we could view in full screen mode and work and participate on a full screen.
Tech NorthWest Skillnet
easy to follow and the trainer is attentive
Techleap.nl
the way it was delivered
Kyle Loughrey - Tech NorthWest Skillnet
More hands on exercises
Tech NorthWest Skillnet
I like the practicality of the training. It helps to be able to practice what is being thought (in real time).
Ahmed Yisau - Tech NorthWest Skillnet
Well paced and I liked the way its done interactively handson , rather than going thru the slides which is usually the norm. This being a reporting tool the hands on drive of the options in the tool make much easier to grasp or understand.
Mohan Bezawada - Tech NorthWest Skillnet
The interaction in the sense that we weren't sitting round listening to a lecture. The fact we were in working on the same stuff as the trainer made it much more engaging.
Michael Bryce - Tech NorthWest Skillnet
The details that the lecturer went into. Would have love more time.
Sharon Clarke - Tech NorthWest Skillnet
Got a good understanding of a lot of different functions within Tableau.
Ryan Tooms - Tech NorthWest Skillnet
Use of Dashboards
James McDevitt - Tech NorthWest Skillnet
I liked the desktop where Richard could come in and help you if you were stuck on something. I also liked the fact we were able to follow along on tableau as I learn better by doing rather than just watching someone do it.
Tech NorthWest Skillnet
Having had a very basic knowledge of Tableau this was an excellent course for me to gain confidence in using the tool. I found the information on how to organize my data in Tableau very useful also having the opportunity to work on calculated fields allowed me to recognize of the pitfalls for when we get the invalid error.
