A good way to gain an overview of Big Data – a worthwhile course. One downside, however: in my view, we would have benefited from spending more time on certain key concepts (which, by definition, learners do not yet fully grasp), as the pace was very fast, and it isn’t always easy to follow the course materials whilst listening to the trainer (including during the practical exercises), nor to take in certain pieces of terminology on the spot (acronyms

Some of the practical exercises were unsuccessful. For example, the failure of the TransLog practical exercise was detrimental. In general, the training programme suffers from a lack of preparation.

5 days away – that’s a long time and a heavy burden when it comes to learning.%0AThe exercises are quite complicated when using a multi-vessel system.%0A%0ABut overall, it’s an interesting course.
