Course was conducted very well and it was evident that the trainer made it a point of honor to be prepared regardless of the level that the group might represent. The trainer had exercises from every possible section that could be covered. The more difficult exercises were based on easier ones, ensuring continuity of the activity. The fact that we did not complete everything is not a flaw in this case. This fact indicates that the trainer could conduct the course even for a group at a similar level of knowledge and advancement as himself.

- Prepared virtual environment for training participants. In this regard, it won everything. I have never seen such a well-prepared environment. It was enough for the training participant to have access to the Internet and some favorite terminal with ssh. REVELATION! - Trainer's knowledge. It is clear that he has knowledge and experience in this field and is confident. - Trainer's honesty - if he didn't know something, he was not afraid to say that he didn't know, but he could suggest what could be done, where to find information, or which direction to go. - Trainer's openness, culture
