Reviews
Instructor is extremely knowlegable in this field. It was great to connect with him.
Gene is by far the most clear and concise instructor I've ever had in a vendor training. Generally trainings such as these are hard to sit through due to a lack of presentation skill from the instructor. Not here! Had a great time and feel very confident about taking my AZ-900 now. Pacing was awesome and he made sure to get us involved wherever possible.
Mark was a great instructor. He took the time to answer each question and provided demonstrations whenever possible.
Vitaly did an excellent job. He knows what he s talking about and he explained it clearly.
I really enjoyed the passion. Tarik LOVES doing this and you can tell. He's very detailed and has to catch himself to keep on task when he gets excited showing things, which he did well! I'd be excited if I took another course and saw he was the instructor.
