The course provides a wealth of information on all aspects related to the process of producing requirements. The techniques provided are both straightforward and useful. The facilitator doesn't take anything for granted and delves into a sufficient amount of detail. This is the "best" description of the requirements process that I've ever had the opportunity to review.
