So far I have been very pleased with the quality and the content of the instruction. This is my second course.

I like the instructor teaching method and well preparedness for the course.

The course was well organized, and the labs and class participation helped a lot.

Good course that covers all aspects of DB2. Gives very good starting point to enable anyone to work efficiently within DB2 environment.

It was great content, some additional exam prep focus would have been nice. I believe everyone in the class has the goal of passing some AWS cert exams.
