Marie-Claude Trépanier

Jean-François possède une manière toute personnelle de raconter des histoires. Il trouve le menu détail qui fait sourire, joue de légèreté et de profondeur avec une touche qui ne ressemble qu’à Jean-François. Tout au long de la formation, il s’est montré ouvert aux commentaires et il a cherché des solutions créatives aux défis qui se posaient.

Simon Gauthier

Ce fut sans aucun doute l’étudiant phare du group dans mon cours. Sa facilité de compréhension, son intégrité et ses habiletés avec la technologie fait de Jean-François le candidat par excellence.
