The labs and course material gave me valuable insights into cloud security architecture
Very good material, the instructor was clear explaining the topics, and the labs were easy to follow it.
The training was good but needed the basic skills of maximo before getting deep in the configuration of it.
Great and very intuitive. Better than the traditional hit the wrong button/lose points.
It would be better if the classroom had two power point screens so the instructor could have two screens shown to the class at the same time to reduce confusion switching back and forth
