My latest Rhapsody MBSE training feedback summary

I have owned and developed my own Mastering MBSE with SysML and Rhapsody training over the last 10 years with international delivery via a variety of business partners. I moved to capturing feedback via google forms which gives me ability to create summary. Past performance is a good indication of future performance. This is the latest feedback summary.
