“Very impressed with the theoretical component of the course. It’s something you don’t see too often in vendor training courses. The training was really good.”

University Customer

“We had an excellent trainer. He showed a great knowledge and passion for the topic, which helped make the course more interesting. The fact that the course was heavily geared towards the labs was also fantastic, as it’s much easier to learn things in a hands-on manner.“

“Many labs linked to the theoretical part, the lab platform is well made, and the trainer gets involved to support and help us during the labs. The course is very complete and high quality. I have never seen such rigorous training (schedule, training plan, followup). The trainer knows his topic in-depth, and also how to adapt to his students. I am very satisfied with this training.”
