A very good training course – Introduction: three days is a bit short to cover everything in detail

The course content is quite dense. At times, it’s difficult to keep up with what’s happening and to carry out the same actions on the computer.

Very interesting; the topics and the way they were structured followed a sound educational approach. Each topic included a transition to the next one. A comprehensive and well-rounded training course, which might benefit from an additional day to: 1. Streamline the content and key areas a little further; 2. Explore certain safety modules in even greater depth.

The course was very comprehensive and packed with content; the materials provided are an invaluable resource. However, I would have liked some individual exercises (at least one hour a day). I’m well aware of the sheer volume of material to cover during this course, and cutting three hours of theory would have reduced the amount of knowledge imparted, but nothing beats a bit of practice! The trainer knew the subject inside out!

Other: on the first day, I noticed a sexist comment from the trainer. As you're the only woman, how are you coping? Are you getting on all right? It didn't lead to any further action, but I wanted to make a note of it all the same.

The trainer is very competent, but the content is far too light for an administrator's course. Several essential points were not covered: OneDrive was not dealt with (deemed too risky from a legal point of view), and only the basics of the Exchange administration centre and the creation of SharePoint pages were covered. No practical exercises were offered on Active Directory synchronisation, and the security and monitoring part of the course, although planned, was not covered.
