The training is very interesting and can be useful on our future projects and the trainer is always active on answering our questions and helping us when we are having issues on our end.
Charles Kevin Regaliza - Thakral One Inc.
Course - Introduction to Drools 7 for Developers
I am really impressed on his technical skills most especially on the debugging of errors and writing of codes. This just shows that he is really technically equip and is very good at that. But that is different from a skill of cascading and sharing your knowledge as a trainer.
Roi Jason Buela - Thakral One, Inc.
