Phil was great! He was both patient and knowledgeable. The training went at a good pace, moving a team of mixed SQL abilities through the basics into more advanced SQL querying together. The exercises were an excellent way for us to commit our newly learned skills to memory, and Phil's instructions/class discussions on numerous ways to achieve the same thing were interesting.

I appreciated Fulvio's wide breadth of knowledge. Not only was he familiar with the course content, but he also knew of constructs in languages we were familiar with to make examples more meaningful to us. During intervals he shared his knowledge of technologies and solutions outside the training scope to provide insights into other solutions we could use in future (and future training).
