Course Testimonials
The labs were extremely useful for applying all of the knowledge learned in each lesson and gave you the opportunity to stretch that knowledge and apply your own flavour to the solution.
Alfresco's instructors are real product experts who understand how to deliver the most relevant facts using well conceived cases and examples.
Alfresco is a big product, without a course like this you don't know where to start.
Overall the course was well delivered. The instructor was familiar with the material presented and presented it well. I would definitely recommend this course to anybody considering using Alfresco in either current or future projects.
I had implemented Alfresco before, so I thought I knew it well, but now I am aware that I was missing many of the features of the software. I wish I had this training before, and it should be mandatory for developers and systems administrators. Although the existing documentation and books help greatly, this one-week course is a bargain and will save you weeks of toiling and tinkering. The course is not only a great investment of your time and money, but it is one with a huge ROI.
