Testimonials

“Instructor was very passionate about Databricks and helped me to stay engaged. Great pace, great knowledge, and the trainer was fantastic overall :) ”

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 PowerCenter training last week went very well. There were many practical exercises included which I really appreciated because they helped me understand the topics much better, I learned a lot and found the sessions very useful. I’m continuing to review and practice the content this week to consolidate what I’ve learned.
