Our trainer was outstanding and answered all the questions we could throw at him, and also gave us lots of valuable advice from his real-world experience. He also contribute to a fun and positive atmosphere amoung the group. Lessons last all day from around 8:30am to any time in the evening (our earliest finish was around 10:30), with occasional short breaks, making the course very intensive. However, I believe everyone in our group has learned a huge amount and I would recommend the course to any IT professional who learns quickly, isnt afraid of some hard work and can function on little sleep!"
