Testimonials (5)
I really enjoyed this training from multiple point of views: - the instructor clearly has experience with the taught topic and he lively worked with the trainees to solve the issues occurred in exercises - each of us had sandboxes to work with, I liked the fact that the instructor was able to quickly jump into anyone's screen and workspace to check for errors and see the progress along the way. This is very efficient, as opposed to having separate environments on our own and then share the screen on Teams. - the pace was fine tuned, adapted to our needs continuously, props for that! - each session began with a well-paced recap for the things learned in the past session, which really helped bond the topics to our reflexes, shall I say. All in all, great work and I am looking forward to attend other trainings taught by Vincenzo!
