Testimonials

“Last week’s Informatica PowerCenter Bootcamp training was really good. It was very practical, and we had the opportunity to try out what was being taught. The trainer was incredibly kind and professional, and since there were only two of us, he was able to give us his full attention. I would definitely recommend this training to anyone.”

- Dilane Azangue, Data Integration Consultant, PTA IT Consulting

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.

“Tomi was great. He was very detailed and made sure I fully understood the section before moving on. There are so many functions, so the Informatica materials and lab books are super helpful.”
