The instructor is experienced, this is obvious. To help drive home the point in instructing, they should use personal experience more often. Less reading of the data on the slides. The class was helpful.

Concepts have been explain with real world examples. Key is to forget organizational practices when opting for ITIL and keep and open mind about the concepts and not mix it.
It was a great learning experience

Transitioning Officer in pursuit of PMP and MBA
Tim was beyond amazing. Not only did he know his craft, but he was also able to explain it to a level someone with the lowest level of knowledge could understand, without insulting the intelligence. I came in with barely any formal knowledge of the PM world and ended leaving with way more competency. Tim mixed personal experience and PMI terms/processes/knowledge areas to increase my understanding (it worked). Loved this class, loved the teacher. I will definitely recommend this class and more specifically, the teacher to other coworkers, friends and family. Thank you!

The training was good. It would be great with some case studies on important concepts. The practical examples of concepts would be better rather than just the concept definitions. Thanks, Akhil for providing me with the training.

I have taken the AWS Solution Architect Associate Certification training course. Toshal Kahawale was the trainer. Toshal had covered all the important topics required for a Solution Architect in a detailed manner. He had provided real-world application examples while explaining the topics. That was really helpful. Toshal has plenty of experience in designing & architecting cloud applications
