I learned a lot of directly usable skills from Tech Data. It will make an immediate impact in our work center.

They have been absolutely fantastic to work with, from the moment I first made contact. James, my sales contact, has been one of the most responsive people I've worked with, pretty much ever! :)

Attended in the New York timezone from Switzerland, with an instructor based out of Sydney Australia - worked really well!

The instructor really took his time and made sure I was able to understand the concepts.

Good training. Please include more labs if you can for better hands-on experience.
