Very comprehensive training on robotics and ROS technology. We take the time to do the exercises and understand the scope of each tool, library etc.. The materials open doors to different aspects that can be explored in greater depth.

Very good choice of exercises and learning approach. It's a pity that the entire training corpus is not completely up to date with the latest versions of ROS. Let's just say that it would have been more balanced to work mainly on ROS2 and slightly on ROS1.
