I thoroughly enjoyed the 'Quantum Espresso for Beginners' course at Stanmore School of Business. As a UK-based researcher, I was looking to enhance my skills in computational materials science, and this course exceeded my expectations. The course content was well-structured, and the instructors provided ample support throughout. I particularly appreciated the hands-on exercises, which helped me gain practical experience with Quantum Espresso. The course materials were of high quality, and I found the tutorials and examples to be highly relevant to my research goals. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the course and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get started with Quantum Espresso.

I took the 'Quantum Espresso for Beginners' course to learn more about computational materials science and how to apply it to real-world problems. The course was pretty cool, and I liked how the instructors broke down complex concepts into easy-to-understand bits. I gained some useful skills, like how to set up and run simulations using Quantum Espresso, and how to analyze the results. The course materials were decent, but I felt like some of the examples could have been more detailed. Still, I'm happy with what I learned, and I think the course was worth my time. One thing that really stood out was the support from the instructors - they were always available to answer questions and provide feedback.
