    We all question how practical these courses really are before hand but this is truly a real-world, practical approach. It immediately establishes a huge amount of credibility with your users.

    I liked level of detail. Much more comprehensive and thorough compared to other courses of this type.

    The instructor made the coursework engaging and entertaining. The organization (around business processes rather than use case mechanics) was enlightening.

    The course was very “real world” driven. While there were classroom examples, Rob used real life experiences to enforce his material.

    A++ to the instructor (Robert). Gave real life practical examples that helped me to corelate and understand the concept a lot better.
