trainer's knowledge
- INTEL TECHNOLOGY POLAND SP Z O O
- Prepared virtual environment for training participants. In this respect, he won everything. I have not seen such a well prepared environment. It was enough for the training participant to have Internet access and some favorite terminal from ssh. REVELATION! - Trainer knowledge. You can see that he has knowledge and experience in this area and is sure of it. - Trainer honesty - if he did not know something, he was not afraid to say that he did not know it, but he can tell what to do / where to look for information / where to go. - Openness, trainer culture

The coach's great experience has been a source of fruitful discussions on more advanced topics. Very well prepared practical exercises on the almost trouble-free laboratory environment. The coach was flexible and reacted to what was happening during the training.

Marek Kardasiński - INTEL TECHNOLOGY POLAND SP Z O O
The knowledge of the lecturer supported by solid production experience, so he was able to pass additional tastes and traps.
- INTEL TECHNOLOGY POLAND SP Z O O
The training was very well conducted and it was obvious that the trainer set himself the honor of being prepared regardless of the level the group could represent. He had exercises with him from every possible department that could be moved. The more difficult exercises were based on the easier ones, so there was continuity of activity. The fact that we haven't done everything that was not a disadvantage in this case. This fact proves that the trainer could conduct training even for a group at a similar level of knowledge and advancement as himself.
