Robert (the trainer) has a very good grasp of his subject, thanks to his experience and background.lots of new concepts, or reminders, that I'll be able to apply to my IT projects.fairly wide-ranging content over 2 days. Lack of application.

The trainer's contribution is useful and helpful, but the teaching content is too theoretical and top-down. There are no exercises, case studies, etc.
