Comments
Marion Berger-Deruelle, Sanofi-AventisIn a whole, I enjoyed very much the PLSPM training, it was very fruitful. There was a good interaction between the teachers and some of the attendees, this interaction was useful to me to understand some parts of the course. I liked hearing the teachers discussing together when they had different views between each other -even though I could not follow all the subtleties, as they were discussing at an "expert" level ! Also I appreciated the linking (sequence) "presentation of theory and formulas" - "put into practice using real cases". This really helped me a lot.
Claude Wolf, UMPCI registered to the PLSPM course as using PLS was required for my current studies using multivariate analysis. I liked this training very much and especially the fact that it talked about practical use and proposed hands on exercises. I was very satisfied by the trainers who were both pedagogic and competent. I would definitely recommend that workshop especially to people who like me work in the medical/biomedical sector.
Stuart Drucker, Drucker Anaytics, Inc.I decided to attend the PLSPM course to obtain more in-depth exposure to best practice model assessment techniques, and learn about future software developments. In particular, I liked the hands-on software examples and the fact that we were able to meet the academic thought leaders. I also obtained a more comprehensive perspective for using measurement model diagnostics to support applications of Mode PLS as an alternative to the established reflective and formative approaches. I would recommend this training to other marketing science practitioners.
Carol Griffin, TeagascI really liked the 3 day training course on statistics. I gained a very good understanding of the techniques which will be of use to me in my sensory analysis work. I see the course as an introduction - I have enough to "get started". I would recommend this course to a wide range of scientific practitioners. The course leader was capable of handling a wide variety of questions from users of different levels.
Aurélie Huger, TereosThe training session on statistics is excellent, clear, interesting and educational. I registered most of all to review the basics of statistics as I needed to analyze data at work. I was very satisfied with the training that gave me a good refresher and made me want to continue learning. This training is accessible to almost all levels, I highly recommend it.
