* George delivered the course in a very interactive and personal manner. * This course gave me great insight and an overview into Solutions Architecture. * Highly recommended for people within in Architecture.
Fantastic course. George was great at addressing all questions and provided great insight into real world application.
Great course presented by a great instructor. The combination of theoretical topics and real-world applications underpinned the success of this course. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in and/or working with IT
George provided many real world examples and experiences, make it all a lot more believable and easier to understand how it might work back at work
Excellent course. Learnt so much from George's real-world experience and practical application relevant to the topics presented. Well-presented and delivered at a nice pace. Kudos!!!
knowledgeable instructor with many years real world experience. Good reference material provided. Facilities are high standard.
Great details and very knowledgeable trainer. The content was engaging, practical and met my expectations. The only feedback will be to provide print-outs in colour for this course as they have their significance in the diagrams.
This was the perfect format for me, I needed a refresher on Solution Architecture principles. George was very knowledgeable & I learned a lot. Thank you George for your templates & advice.
- Good tie-in with TOGAF and other known frameworks and methodologies - Excellent real-world examples to give more context behind theory elements - Provided take-home SA resources that are valuable for the workplace - Pragmatic approach to teaching
Course confirmed and reinforced understanding of the "soft skillS" orientation of the Solutions Architecture role, and importantly confirmed that originally the role was known as Systems Analysis, which I was taught in my undergraduate Computer Science degree many years ago. This helps greatly with understanding which skills I already possess, which to develop and how to position them in the SA role going forward.
Extremely insightful content!! Valuable industry experience sharing by George which i think i will be using back at work. The concepts were explained with real life examples.
Lars made the course very enjoyable by weaving in real life scenarios to help understand the course content and how to apply it into real work situations. The course was very interactive and a good learning experience. I look forward to more courses on the topics around Solution Architecture.
Excellent insight into Solution Architecture, with careful explanation of how this fits into the broader scope of enterprise architecture. The Trainer was insightful, took time to explain concepts with detail. Great introduction.
A very experienced trainer in the architecture field and used good examples to explain the dry parts of the course.
The course provides a great deal of information on enterprise and solutions architecture. I now feel confident to know where to find out more information and tools to help me further my learning and career development. Trainer Paul is very generous with sharing his knowledge, which is greatly appreciated.
