I really enjoyed the knowledge of the trainer.
Stephanie Seiermann
It was very hands-on, we spent half the time actually doing things in Clouded/Hardtop, running different commands, checking the system, and so on. The extra materials (books, websites, etc. .) were really appreciated, we will have to continue to learn. The installations were quite fun, and very handy, the cluster setup from scratch was really good.
Ericsson
The training felt very personal and customised to what I wanted out of it. It was so non judgemental that I felt comfortable in asking whatever questions I needed to, and the trainer was able to competently answer all my questions. It was a very good overview of useful statistical techniques and there was a good balance between statistical theory and how to use minitab.

Deepakie Singh Sodhi - Queens College, CUNY
Steve was willing to answer every questions and worked diligently to address any individual concerns or technical issues as they arose in the class. He also did a great job of presenting the technical details in a way that made it less intimidating to even the least tech savvy people in the room. Personally, learning about some useful shortcuts in Excel that I didn't know about will certainly improve my overall workflow when using Excel in the future! I am so appreciative of those little details that I was exposed to during the two-day training.
Alan Gonzalez - Queens College, CUNY
The reminder of the world of statistics :)
Export Credit insurance corporation
1. Clear theoretical explanation of concepts and alternatives to problem solving. 2. Practical examples where concepts are, and can be applied. 3. I learnt skills that I can use in my job, which will make some of my work easier 4. It will definitely bring some innovation into some of the reports I prepare for different Committees.
Sindiso Ndlovu - Export Credit insurance corporation
I liked the practicality and the live coding - necessary to learn properly The course met my expectations with respect to covering the basics well.
