I would have liked to have had a diagram explaining each concept before going into the details of each topic.The training should be spread over five days, and certain topics should be covered in greater depth; for example: > discussing certificate renewal management in relation to the exercises carried out > for clusters, doing exercises on DHCP clusters > covering security

The quizzes each morning are a good way of recalling the key points from the previous day, and the tool (PSR) given by the trainer at the start of the session makes it easier to take notes and record operations.
