Testimonials
“Trainer was amazing. I was worried about staying engaged for 4 days, but the pace and explanation was exceptional! Would love to know what other training he provides.”
- Natalie Chronister, Project Administrator III, Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute
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.
