Tony

The Instructor is highly knowledgeable and always willing to assist with questions or challenges. The supportive learning environment made the course enjoyable and effective. I would gladly take this course again in the future.

The Instructor did an outstanding job communicating technical concepts clearly and effectively. The hands-on labs were extremely helpful, and the overall structure of the class was excellent. I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to build strong PostgreSQL skills. Thank you for a great learning experience!

The training course was exceptional, covering a wide range of topics with a strong emphasis on practical application. The Instructor demonstrated deep subject-matter expertise and consistently provided constructive feedback, valuable insights, and professional guidance throughout the course.

The training sessions were informative and useful, but access to courseware and hands-on lab materials would greatly enhance the learning experience. Practice questions for exam preparation would also be very beneficial. Overall, the training content was good, and with added resources, it would be even more effective.

The training was comprehensive and well aligned with the needs of my current role. The Instructor demonstrated patience and a strong understanding of student concerns and questions. One suggestion for improvement would be to announce breaks more clearly in advance. I also appreciated the additional Linux learning resources that were shared, which added great value to the course.

The Instructor was excellent—clear, approachable, and very easy to understand. The pace of the class was well balanced, and the teaching method of first demonstrating tasks and then allowing students to perform them independently was highly effective. The inclusion of frequent, short breaks was especially helpful, allowing time to process information, prepare questions, and manage personal responsibilities. I would strongly recommend this Instructor and would be happy to enroll in future courses.
