Testimonials

The trainers clear and obvious enthusiasm for number crunching, analytics, and teaching others is infectious. He doesn’t waste time, shows exactly what you need to know and is genuinely hilarious.

Every one of my employees had tons of positive stuff to say.

- Benjamin G, MXSG Analysis and Integration Chief, US Air Force

Thoroughly enjoyed the training. The trainer was fantastic! It is rare but always an awesome experience when a trainer is also an experienced practioner with a breadth of knowledge and hands on experience… even well beyond the subject matter at hand. I had the feeling that the trainer could have answered in detail any question we might have had related to not only BDM but Hadoop and other relevant big data topics as well. Time well spent and I hope to encounter Tomi again.

The trainer was INCREDIBLE. He was extremely passionate, made sure to consistently ask if anybody needed help, logged on early to answer any questions, and was an overall great human being.
