Testimonials
“The course was comprehensive and interactive, and the trainer really understood the content. I have been able to implement much of what I learned into my daily work activities and have saved a lot of time.”
- Susan Medina, Senior Business Analyst, Advocate Health Care
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.
