The trainer's openness to questions and willingness to help/answer/explain.
Chalmers Tekniska Högskola AB
I liked that we got a general overview of elastic and learned tons of things that could be applied in current project the first day. I also liked that we went through current project code with a code review and mention improvements or/and stuff to think about or take up for discussion in the project on the second day. I like that the training gave me a good base to continue delve into elastic search.
