That’s really interesting – it helps you build a solid foundation and develop your skills as you go along. The practical exercises are brilliant and really help you understand things better.

Good pace, good teaching methods, and clear explanations of the solutions to the exercises. Points 5 and 6 are merely touched upon and should not be included in the training programme given the amount of time spent on them => As these points aren’t important to me, it didn’t bother me.

The interaction with the trainer was very, very good. Thank you again for the smooth flow of the discussions and for the time spent on each of our questions. I already had some experience with GitLab CI and Docker. Personally, I found the latter part of the course more interesting as it’s more relevant to my working environment. Thank you also for the networking opportunities; I’ve shared this with my colleagues as well.
