The training was conducted very well, and it was evident that the trainer made it a point of honor to be prepared regardless of the level the group might represent. He had exercises from every possible area that could be covered. The more difficult exercises were based on the easier ones, ensuring a smooth progression of activities. The fact that we didn't cover everything is not a flaw in this case. This indicates that the trainer could conduct training even for a group with a similar level of knowledge and advancement as himself.

- A prepared virtual environment for training participants. In this aspect, everything was a win. I have never seen such well-prepared environments before. It was enough that the training participant had internet access and a favorite terminal with ssh. REVOLUTION! - The trainer's knowledge. It is clear that they have knowledge and experience in this field and are confident about it. - The trainer's honesty - if they didn't know something, they were not afraid to say they didn't know it, but could guide on what can be done/where to find information/in which direction to proceed. - Openness, the culture of the trainer
