Paul is a top-tier instructor with actual real-industry experience. Solid gold.
The course materials and labs are clear, accurate, and effective at demonstrating the intended point.
The course was great, and the instructor was amazing. I learned a lot of additional information. We all got to provide input and learn about MIM as a team.
Excellent! Paul was very helpful and informative! This course was amazing. Looking forward to the next course.
Paul is a gem of an instructor. His knowledge of identity concepts is unparalleled and his mastery of MIM is absolutely remarkable. He guides you through complicated tasks with ease and effectively breaks down the most complex topics.
Paul really is an excellent trainer. His desire to impart his expert knowledge and real-world experience during the MIM Foundation course was fantastic and interesting and his delivery of the comprehensive course content kept me engaged and amused. I really appreciate the thorough foundation I have been given. Many thanks
The instructor knows his stuff, it is impossible to stump him with any question ever…
Paul is an amazing tutor with a polished teaching style incorporating many aspects of academia, arts, and general knowledge.
His MIM knowledge is S-rank and incomparably top tier. I learned so much about the product’s fundamentals in the MIM foundation course. Having access to the learning material after the course has proved to be extremely beneficial for practice in my personal environments
I highly recommend the MIM Expert course for its comprehensive coverage of expert-level components within MIM, providing a strong foundation for building customized management agents and extending functionality to meet specific business requirements.
Paul is an exceptional instructor who effectively transforms complex topics into engaging and enjoyable exercises. His teaching style ensures continuous engagement throughout the course.
I gained a comprehensive understanding of each topic and could explore complex issues until I understood, particularly in areas where I encountered challenges.
I give both Paul and Oxford Computer Training a perfect 10/10 rating.
Excellent course and materials.
The course was great. I learned more than I thought I would. Paul’s knowledge is unreal – he really is the MIM master!
Paul is an outstanding instructor. Over the past four days, I’ve gleaned a wealth of knowledge from him. Despite the abundance of information, he possesses a unique method that simplifies complex concepts making them readily understandable. I truly appreciate his teaching approach and his willingness to share his expertise.
Awesome course with hands-on labs! Learning as a team was a great experience. Great questions were asked to help consolidate knowledge.
Absolutely excellent, very insightful, and gave me some real tools to do my job more effectively. Paul was a brilliant trainer – patient, methodical, and highly knowledgeable. Thank you.
Paul explained the content really well, it helped me understand the course.
Paul was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He led us through the modules and labs and made sure we had a full understanding. He kept the course interesting the entire way through and was a joy to learn from.
I learned a lot! Paul is an amazing instructor. The courses and the labs are very good. It’s awesome that you can keep the documents.
Very informative and Paul is extremely knowledgeable. He does well to make the course content easily understandable and entertaining. The labs worked well.
Learning as a team works well because we can always collaborate on labs and also discuss more on what we just learned.
The instructor is very welcoming, puts soul into what he explains, and makes you want to know as much as possible. The course covers all the essentials.
Very thorough and easy to understand. The instructor is very interactive and always willing to clarify the material and review any pain points. As it was a private course, we could leverage each other as resources when needed.
This was a great course material-wise. With regard to Paul, he has a very unique ability to keep things entertaining and moving along. I will not, soon, forget the experience I had because of Paul and his illustrative artistry with Paint! So much Talent! It was also nice to know some of my colleagues were also in the private training.
The training was excellent!
This was a good introduction to Entra ID. It presented a lot of the capabilities of the product and provided a good platform to learn more about Entra ID. Having a private training session means different perspectives and questions come up which enhances one’s learning.
The experience of learning via Teams was very good. The private nature of the course allowed me to collaborate with members of my team whom I don’t always get to share direct work experience with.
Was probably one of the best instructors I’ve ever had for training. He had very good energy and explained things very well and allowed us to ask a lot of questions. Would definitely recommend him and Oxford Computer Training to others I know. Training as a team was very nice as a few of us would stop Paul occasionally to explain how our company is using the technology covered in the training already. I think it also helped the comfort level of less outgoing people. Thank you
Paul was excellent
Paul made the course fun and enjoyable.
I learn more by hands-on learning, so I learned a lot from the labs. Using Teams was better than being in person.
As someone who has taken a few (bad) vendor-provided courses, this course was much better. Paul managed to be very engaging the whole course, despite its length and often dry material.
Paul was very good at explaining everything and making the course more interesting. Excellent instructor. Doing the training as a private group allowed more questions to be asked – and maybe ones I didn’t think of.
Great training. Awesome instructor!
Paul’s way of teaching is very engaging. Enjoyed the class.
This course is absolutely amazing and Paul is a complete laugh. This is a very boring subject and the liveliness and quick wit and amazement made this subject not only digestible but also a great experience.
Paul was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, able to answer all of our questions, and entertaining. This was a private course. It was beneficial to have a mix of experienced and newer engineers on the call, so we could get a larger scope of questions, and answers, and can apply the information to our current environment.
The course covered all the main topics and it was well explained. Also, VDI environment was good.
Paul is extremely knowledgeable and presents in a very charismatic way for several hours, and is always willing to help. I recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn more about MIM.
Learning as a private team puts a healthy amount of pressure to perform and helps you gauge if you are falling behind on the content based on everyone else’s ability to finish labs. It is also useful to hear other’s opinions and questions you may not have considered.
The course and instructor were both great. Paul was very engaging and able to keep it entertaining
I liked the course material, labs, and pace at which Paul ran the classes. It was a good learning experience.
Paul is a great instructor who explains concepts clearly and answers questions patiently.
Paul is a great instructor he answers all the questions patiently and also explains the concepts in a good way.
Paul was knowledgeable and took the time to explain and provide a walkthrough whenever I was stuck on any step of the lab. My experience on Teams was amazing and there were no technical difficulties.
The course was very informative and I learned a lot. Paul was very knowledgeable and engaging. Worth the time. Thank you!!
Paul was able to answer all questions – he was well-versed in Entra ID. I will recommend this training to my team.
Paul is great – he explained the course in a detailed manner. His knowledge of the technology is great. Also, he answered questions patiently. Great to attend the training.
What can I say I haven’t said already? Flawless course, great delivery and very entertaining (I don’t usually say that about IT trainings :D)
Overall, the training from Oxford Computer Training about MIM PAM was excellent. I now have a much better understanding of how PAM works in an organization compared to before.
A lot of information but it was delivered in a great way, also with sprinkles of humor. Really enjoyed it.
Paul did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable.
I found the course to be highly engaging and informative. The instructor demonstrated a deep understanding and was excellent at conveying complex concepts in an accessible way. His dedication and willingness to provide additional support (when needed) greatly enhanced my learning experience. Overall, I have a very positive impression of the course and the instructor.
This was a good introduction to the subject and pertaining topics. The private training course meant we could collaborate around the examples and topics we saw.
The online training is very good. The presentations are good to follow and the labs afterwards help to deepen the knowledge and apply it directly.
Paul exhibited an exceptional mastery of the subject matter, seamlessly blending expertise with enthusiasm. His presentations were not only informative but also engaging, ensuring that each concept was articulated with clarity and passion. His ability to foster an environment of inquiry and collaboration made the learning experience both enriching and memorable. Truly, a paragon of educational excellence.
Great course. As always Paul was very thorough and entertaining.
Excellent. The instructor was incredibly engaging!
I thought the course was an excellent introduction to the EntraID platform, which covered the key elements of management and strategy. I will use specific examples of what I’ve learned in our environment as well as hold some of our people accountable for their choices with my new knowledge. The experience of learning via Teams was good. Being able to do it from the convenience of my home was nice.
This was by far the best remote/video course I have ever taken. Good combination of labs, instructor lead lectures, recorded lectures and written material.
This is a well-refined course that provides three full days of instruction. As a consultant, there was not a scenario left unexplored. Every scenario and question I had was answered within the training. If you don’t have the opportunity to attend in person, definitely take advantage of the self-paced training.
This is truly a Masterclass. Unlike so many other classes, you will be pushed to complete the labs in the allotted time. Some of the steps walk you through click by click, but most expect you to understand what you are looking at and what is needed to get to the next step.
Paul, the instructor, is superb. His professional experience and his training ability make for an informative, practical course that lets you come away from it being able to immediately apply the knowledge. Most of our customers don’t need the advanced capabilities but understanding how everything works, and the capabilities to look closer at the configurations and issues, has provided me with stronger skillset to make sure our customers are properly configured and troubleshoot the issues quicker.
If Paul and I find ourselves in the same city at the same time, I hope to have a pint with him.
Paul the instructor was very knowledgeable about MIM and set a great pace of learning. He was very engaging and didn’t read solely off the slides.
Learning via Teams worked great for me. I was in my work office so it felt like any normal-ish meeting..
Paul, the instructor was great, very thorough and helpful. It was lovely to be in his class.
Attending the class via Teams worked very well.
Paul was one of the best instructors I have ever had the pleasure to learn from! Very knowledgeable and very engaging as well as funny!
It was great to have my team member on this course learning at the same time and able to help each other. Attending over the internet was great!
Excellent training, packed with information.
It’s interesting to hear questions from others that you didn’t think of and expanding your knowledge that way too.
Paul was an excellent instructor and very thorough. He did an amazing job explaining the course material in detail. It was a great way to learn via Teams, with great documentation and demonstrations, as well as labs. I would highly recommend it.
We had a private course, and it helps that you are learning from the same source as other team members so you all have the same information.
Paul, the instructor was very informative and engaging throughout the live online training. You can really tell he is passionate and knowledgeable about the product and is dedicated to teaching all he knows regarding MIM. The format and fluidity of the course made this live online training really enjoyable. The labs were laid out well and if there were any issues they were addressed promptly.
One of the best live online classes I have taken! Mr. Captainino, the instructor, is a master of his craft. He dumped a ton of information on us in a short time and still made it fun and easy to follow. I feel much more comfortable working with MIM. Thanks!
Paul was a great instructor. The course was good for the overall operation of MIM. It shows a good understanding and the high-level view of who, what, why and where things happen in that environment.
Paul, the instructor, was wonderful, keeping the energy high and making sure to relate the materials back to our jobs. I really appreciated that the course was so thorough and in depth.
Excellent! The instructor is a master on the topic but still can explain things in a way where he understands that we are not, and we need small chunks of information in order to process it. Recommended!
Excellent training! I came into the course with little knowledge of Azure Active Directory and everything associated with it! Thank you very much to instructor Paul for making it engaging and hands on!
I enjoyed attending the training via Teams. An excellent instructor. I learned a lot on this course. Learning privately as a team is very helpful – we are all on the same page and can work together with organizational standards.
The class was very informative and I believe I gained a lot out of it. The instructor, Paul, did an excellent job.
As it was a private course, my colleagues and I were able to do quite a bit of collaboration.
I liked the calm voice of the presenter, it was pleasent to listen to him. Additionally the XtremeLabs were really good for practice, and the videos and labs were helpful. The experience of learning online, self-paced was very pleasant. I had enough time for the single modules, and to be independent with my allocation of time, and to decide which task I am about to do.
An excellent course over the past week. Paul was engaging and very knowledgeable. I definitely gained a lot during the course which I can immediately take back and use in our current MIM setup.
As always Paul, the instructor, was excellent! It never feels like you are being spoken to and he’s always engaging.
The course is very well laid out, easy to understand, and there are many different ways to learn – whether you prefer watching videos or reading the modules instead. Great demos, great labs and especially great staff who work at Oxford Computer Training who check in with you and offer support where needed. I like that you can keep the coursework too, this is very beneficial.
The self-paced course was much easier to navigate than I originally anticipated. It was well laid out, I felt supported and that I could get help whenever I needed.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning MIM! 🙂
Excellent training. The course is very well structured and easy to follow through the labs. The information was very clear and easy to understand.
Paul, the instructor, is fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable and I learned a great deal. I enjoyed his demeanor and pacing. It was the perfect mix of lectures and labs. I came away feeling much more comfortable in supporting MIM.
Paul is a great trainer and a guru in MIM. I really enjoyed the training! Attending over the internet worked fine for me. The benefit in learning as a team is that you can discuss things about the product or solution with your colleagues.
The instructor was fascinating and showed deep knowledge of MIM. He indicated where we might have problems in the implementation and how to avoid them.
The course is very well prepared and gives extensive information for beginners. In order to understand everything, you have to be constantly focused. The lecturer, Paul, is well prepared. I liked how he joked, and then got students to concentrate again. He managed time carefully and correctly. We were a small group of colleagues all with same level of knowledge which led to a kind relationship between all. I’m glad I was on this course with this lecturer!
The course was very good – structured and presented in such a way that builds knowledge step-by-step and that the mind can follow. The training was well organized allowing us to rest and to concentrate. The instructor, Paul, maintained our willingness to learn throughout the entire course. And we always felt thrilled and excited what was next to come.
Learning as a team has its benefits. We were able to communicate and discuss things freely with teammates and the instructor. Paul’s knowledge made the course as its best. Thank you Paul for the great course, and hope to see you again on the MIM Advanced training!
A very knowledgeable instructor and a real pleasure to hear him take time and pride in showing his skills. The training assumes you know nothing about MIM so it takes you through all basics and makes you confident about executing daily tasks.
The course was very informational, and set out clear guidelines of the learning plan. It was easy to access and follow through labs. The learning was great, we could all ask questions when we needed to. Paul was a terrific instructor and very knowledgeable. Doing the course remotely from home was great – it made the learning process more comfortable.
Paul did an outstanding job in teaching us MIM to an advanced level. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone who needs to further improve their MIM knowledge. Remote attendance via Teams worked great!
It was hard to find the time initially – but once I got into the groove of focusing on the course material, I found the course really helpful. It being broken up into videos allowed me to work around other commitments, as well as pause if needed. The opportunity to then test out what I’d just learned in labs was invaluable as well, as having that no-consequences environment is rare, even in a dev environment!
Excellent. This is the second course I had with Paul and he is an excellent teacher, always happy to answer any question related to MIM and identities.
A solid course with a very knowledgeable instructor who can answer any questions you throw at him, even if the question belongs to the expert course! This course was well-rounded with plenty of time to do the labs. Learning online by Teams works very well for me.
Paul was a brilliant instructor and extremely knowledgeable. I definitely learned a lot.
Paul has a clear voice and is an instructor who can give a training vividly.
Learning remotely on Teams works well for me. I can see my colleagues on the screen, and communicate well with the teacher and the other students when necessary.
Excellent training. Attending the course via Teams was not a problem and in a private course we could focus on topics relevant to my organization.
Excellent training. The instructor, Paul, was engaging and funny!
Very insightful and, as usual, instructor Paul was outstanding!
The course was very good and has given me a good base to build my MIM skills on.
Even though I have been working with MIM for a while now, I learned so much on this course! Paul was an absolutely amazing instructor!
Learning remotely via Teams was a very convenient and pleasant experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was very informative and allowed us to put to practice what we were being taught gradually. Paul, the instructor, made it a comfortable and relaxed environment for us to ask questions to ensure we understood clearly.
Paul was a great teacher, was full of knowledge, very engaging and helpful. This is the second course I have attended that Paul has been the instructor, and both were top notch.
The course was delivered perfectly using Teams.
I felt the course gave a comprehensive and thorough visual, auditory and hands-on learning approach. Paul’s paint skills are on point!
I got a great perspective on MIM/PAM and PIM/ PAM from an architecture, features and capabilities point of view. Learning privately together by Teams worked well and the Q&A/discussions gave us an opportunity to learn from each other as well. Excellent.
I enjoyed the training anchored by Mr. Paul Captainino. He backed up the learning with practical, real-life experiences. The training was innovative and mind-enlarging. Rather than teach us everything, we were encouraged to reason out the ‘why’ behind things and solve problems on our own. Even though the training materials were voluminous, the concepts about the training were very much detailed and self-explanatory. Overall thanks a lot to Mr. Paul!
Extremely detailed breakdown of MIM, explaining a number of concepts alongside a selection of labs. Paul was great – he definitely made understanding MIM much easier.
Excellent course – informative and well structured. Paul, as always, was an excellent instructor, highly knowledgeable and projected fun and enthusiasm throughout the course.
Excellent course. Paul is very knowledgeable and is able to translate his knowledge in a fun and “exciting” way. Thanks again Paul.
Very comprehensive, detailed and interesting course especially useful for understanding how MIM works on a deeper level. Paul was very engaging and a fountain of knowledge as expected from previous courses!
Learning by Teams was fine, and good for collaboration, asking questions and screen sharing.
The course was very good, and Paul is an excellent instructor, very friendly and attentive. I went in thinking it was going to be an information/knowledge dump, but Paul, having understood I am a systems administrator and not a developer, worked with me and presented the coding topics from a non-developer point of view which helped me a lot! I am very grateful to him!
I had a very good experience learning remotely online via Teams. Up until recently I had some objections to online training. In fact, I had even turned down some training offers in the past because they were not classroom-based. I have to admit was completely misguided as they are as good as being classroom-based, which are very rare nowadays. This remote training worked well for me, and I have done both the self-paced and live sessions with OCT.
Excellent! This training has been the most interesting, complete and challenging I have followed in a very long time. The structure and usage of support media was impressive and a model to be followed.
Excellent course!! Thanks so much for creating this course. I really enjoyed the lessons and appreciate the quality of the teaching and depth of the subject matter.
Great course! Paul has a great method of teaching and I found it all very good.
A really good course for people who want to dig deeper. Taking the class online, self-paced was very nice and chill. I am very glad that course period is quite long – it’s a big plus for people whose schedules are very busy. Definitely a huge plus!
Five star training. The instructor, Paul, is very knowledgeable and presents the course material in a very digestible manner.
This course was very well laid out and easy to follow. I really appreciated the way later lessons built on earlier ones and the labs were an excellent tool to put the concepts into practice.
As my job involves me being ready to respond to issues as they arise, I was happy to have the option to take it as a self-paced course that I could spend time on when I had it available. The videos were very easy to follow and the manual is a very, very valuable resource.
Paul, the instructor, and the material were very engaging. Paul was excellent answering questions and he provided great assistance when needed.
Excellent. I enjoyed the interactions and instructions from the instructor, Paul. He provided thorough explanations and got us through the material rapidly. As this was a private course, it was good to be able to discuss with my colleagues how the material applies to our current production and test environments.
Wonderful course and instructor. The collaboration and white boarding with the team was great!
The course was good and informative. Paul, the excellent instructor, conducted the session very well and explained the topics in detail. Remote learning with Teams went very well.
Great! I was able to complete each module and watch each lecture at my own pace.
The course material was amazing, and very relatable to my situation at work. It covered all aspects of Azure AD Connect well. The lecturer was great and clear at explaining stuff. He sounded a lot like the David Attenborough of Azure AD Connect, so I learned a lot! The personal tutor was great support too.
A very pleasantly delivered course with real-world application. The instructor Hugh – as always – provides excellent explanations in an easy to listen way and the Oxford Computer Training portal presents a professional appearance with easy navigation.
The course significantly augmented my Azure AD Connect skills and filled in the gaps surrounding design/support scenarios along with providing a very comprehensive deep dive. The course is filled with tons of helpful tips, references, examples, demos, and labs.
In many ways learning online, self-paced was better than an in-person class, because I could review modules as I needed to as well as slow my pace during labs – thus achieving better retention. There was zero impact to my scheduled meetings, and work provided for a fluid progression of learning without scheduling conflicts which allowed for a flexible and relaxed timetable.
Paul, the instructor, is very experienced in this area. I learned a lot from this course. Very helpful.
Informative, professional and in-depth. We went through a variety of areas within Azure. A great course to understand Azure from the very beginning. Paul was talkative, engaging and an all-around brilliant instructor.
Attending over Microsoft Teams was an enjoyable experience and it did not take away from not being an in-person class. I learnt everything I would have expected to learn in-person.
Excellent. It is probably one of the most difficult subject areas I have done a course for, but the instructor covered all the course material very well. With our geo location, learning privately via Teams was really the only way we could get this course done together.
Paul was a phenomenal instructor and presented the material in a way that was entertaining and engaging!
Excellent! Paul, the instructor, was very helpful when needing to hit certain topics deeper that were important to our organization.
Very comprehensive course and advanced concepts around MIM were explained in a detailed but clear manner. The instructor Paul was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly – what else could you ask for in an instructor? Would definitely recommend this course to those wanted to expand their MIM knowledge beyond a fundamental understanding.
Paul, the instructor, was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to meet my training needs!
The course was very informative, labs were great and Paul – the instructor – was incredible. I liked that the class was small. He was very knowledgeable and funny, and has the gift to keep you engaged even when your brain is overloaded. Well done! Thank you!
Well done. I gained lot of new knowledge. It was well structured and I feel like I picked up a lot of new information during the course.
Excellent! Learning remotely via Teams was surprisingly good! I normally prefer self paced to classroom training and this was the best of both.
A very positive experience. Paul is an excellent instructor. He is clearly very knowledgeable on the subject and is very helpful and patient with students.
A very insightful and useful course. The learning was clear and straightforward. An excellent instructor.
All good. The instructor took our environment into consideration as we worked through the course material.
I prefer remote learning via Teams. The text chat allowed us to share comments without interrupting the flow and I hope the emojis gave encouragement to the instructor.
Wow! Paul, the instructor, was great! 10/10!
It was an excellent experience. Paul, the instructor, is a very knowledgeable person and he has the ability to teach people with patience and create a relaxed environment so you can learn. His jokes are great!How was my experience of attending remotely by Teams? We have to go with the times. Teams provides a good experience for remote learning.
Paul’s knowledge is huge! 🙂 The MIM course was very informative and I learned a lot from it. Learning live via Teams worked very well for me.
Paul, the instructor, was very engaging and knowledgeable. This course was very good in my opinion.
Excellent coverage and a great follow up to MIM Foundation. It’s very convenient to learn online, self-paced when still having to be available for work. Thank you for your understanding about time constraints – greatly appreciated.
The instructor Paul’s explanations were clear and concise throughout the course. The course material is ideal for future reference as it explains the reasons behind doing what you did in the labs, great for referring back to in future.
The course was very informative and well made. Paul is a great instructor, he has a talkative personality that keeps talking very enthusiastically about sometimes boring IT stuff. I am glad I took the course.Learning live online via Teams is a very good approximation to being in an actual classroom and has some small advantages.
The assignments were very beneficial to the entire learning process. They clarified up some of the points that I had neglected to focus on, so thank you for an incredible class. I learned quite a bit in this course, and I also enjoyed myself… so that says something.Self-paced learning means you can learn in your own time and schedule. You don’t need to complete the same assignments or learn at the same time as others. Thanks for providing good online self-paced learning documents. Excellent.
Excellent. Comprehensive and informative.
Paul is by far the best instructor I have ever encountered. He explains things very well, is very patient and can also make the class entertaining and fun.
I prefer learning by Teams/Zoom. It allows for quick snacks and tons of privacy even though you are in a virtual classroom with other people.
The MIM Foundation course is a great way to really start understanding exactly how it works. Before the course, I had a rough idea from what colleagues had shown me and told me, as well as what I’d seen when looking around. But this training really expanded my knowledge drastically to the point where I’m now more comfortable supporting MIM.Learning live over the internet made it very easy to attend as it was flexible and accessible from anywhere.
Excellent course. Paul is a very good instructor with profound knowledge of MIM. Very friendly and really good teaching skills.
The class was very informative and the labs were a good tool to get familiar with MIM. The instructor Paul’s knowledge and experience were a tremendous help.
Excellent training. The instructor, Paul, makes learning topics much more interesting than simply learning from PowerPoint presentations or books. Learning live by Teams was great. Really convenient.
Excellent. The course was very informative and helped to explain some more intricate details of MIM. Attending remotely by Teams was a great experience.
Paul is a good trainer. He explained very well and addressed all the queries which we asked. I would like to take this opportunity to thank him and look forward to getting trained by him in the future.
Excellent training and trainer 🙂
Excellent course. The instructor Paul made learning live over the internet very easy.
Paul did a great job in teaching the course. I had never seen MIM prior to the course, and after the class, I do feel that I have a good base understanding. Thanks Paul!
Course coverage was good with ample labs. We had very interactive sessions with instructor Paul each day of our intensive training. A private course for me and my colleagues meant it was very interactive and we could get clarifications one-to-one that were relevant to us all.
A very good introduction to MIM. Instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Excellent. It was well organized and the structure was good for someone starting with MIM.
Excellent. Great week, awesome course and instructor. Thanks so much!!!
For me it was a very interesting deep dive in everything happening under the cover of Azure Active Directory. As a Platform Engineer we facilitate application teams to consume all kinds of authentication flows and it was very helpful to actually see and understand how this works. We do not often get hands-on with application flows. The magic in the cloud explained so to say.
The level of detail that is explained during the course was really great. It feels a bit like: for my job I’ve been moving boxes around for a while, and finally I got to see what’s inside the boxes. It will definitely help with understanding the bigger picture of what is happening, and we also learned to use some concrete troubleshooting tools.
The content was really good – so much information each day! I liked the camera on/off way off working, as with the camera off at all times I tend to get even more easily distracted.
Great job John. There are only a handful of people in the world that can deliver a training like you did. Very clear and informative, and you are definitely an expert on this subject. I couldn’t find any glitch or anything you didn’t know 🙂 Awesome!
The course itself was also very informative and a truckload of information in a short amount of time. Awesome week and good job! Would love to meet you in person someday John. Keep up the good work 🙂
This training course is very helpful to understand the technology even for someone without much experience.
Good rapport by the instructor Paul and the course was well communicated. Thanks.
Excellent course. Learning live online from home is for me the best way! And, of course, private team training is always better, to discuss our experiences and compare our different points of view.
Very helpful, engaging presentation, deep knowledge, thank you. Learning live online was really effective, and it was good to have a private class for our organization to be able to ask specific questions about our environment.
Excellent instructor – Paul knows MIM inside and out. He is very thorough, and keeps a decent pace we all can enjoy and grow into. Paul has a very good personality, and has these classes organized and on point. Fully recommend his training to anyone wanting to get into identity management within MIM. Excellent. Five stars. Thanks.
Attending remotely was perfect. This class stayed on track, at a great pace, and was full of information about MIM.
As always, Paul, the instructor’s presentation was thorough with excellent examples and laced with humor. I appreciate Paul’s willingness to field questions both directly and indirectly related to the material in the course.
As usual, Paul, the instructor, is a wealth of knowledge.
Excellent! Great course. Five stars.
Awesome class! Each course just gets better and better on how to use MIM for the business. Paul, the instructor, knows his stuff. And he shares his knowledge and really helps us understand the inner workings of MIM. Best in the business for this type of training. This was an absolutely excellent course! Thanks so much!
The course was great. I started out with no real knowledge of MIM and now I have lots. It was a great start to the learning journey. I appreciate the way course was conducted and how much information was crammed into it.
Paul is a fantastic trainer. He covered the material in a very professional manner with his expertise, and ensuring we received the overview successfully, staying on point. I look forward to the Advanced and Expert courses in MIM, and hope that Paul will be our trainer. Excellent class. Thanks.
Attending training remotely online is the future for technology training. The students don’t have the overhead of travel, and out-of-their-environment, giving them the ability to focus on the course, and not be distracted about travel. Highly recommend. I believe this is the “go to” future for training. This course was covered extremely well, and I don’t believe it could have been improved upon.
Excellent presentation of the concepts and reinforcement of core principles throughout the course. The instructor was always helpful and answered all questions. The labs were very good.
Both the course content and the instructor were very good. The way the labs and lectures were constructed made sure that we were glued to the contents every day! Attending the training remotely was great. The Teams call was seamless, and we didn’t have a single glitch for all those hours.
We had a private custom course in Azure AD and Azure AD Connect. Both the course material and, more importantly the instructor, Paul, made it easy to stay engaged. The labs were excellent and made it easy to learn and understand Azure AD Connect and Azure AD administration.
I am an app developer to support MIM. I use ECMA and I found that the instructor is very experienced in this and the course is informative. It gives extensive coverage of what MIM can do. It is a great exposure to me.
Paul the instructor has a wealth of knowledge and shared some tidbits that could prove very valuable in terms of implementation. Having a private course was great – it was nice to have my team members in the same class. Learning remotely was fine.
Paul the instructor is very nice and clear on his explanations. The private training was excellent as it helped the team to share the knowledge and increase our co-operativeness.
Excellent. We did a private customized class taking in both Azure AD and Azure AD Connect with the instructor Paul. He has an amazing amount of knowledge and his ability to maintain focus and keep the class moving is truly impressive.
Excellent. Very thorough course with good demo videos and labs to confirm information.
Overall I thought the course was very good. Paul has great sense of humor, and kept the class interesting and informative. Did learning remotely by Teams/Zoom work well for me? Yes!
Excellent. The instructor is really an expert in the field. He is very funny which helped me relax. Zoom/Teams learning is the way now and will stay for a long time.
Attending a private course worked very well for myself and my team. Paul was an excellent instructor, he was very knowledgeable and I loved his sense of humor. I would really like to have him as my instructor in the future. Thank you Paul!!!
As with every Oxford course, it was greatly rich in detail and the exercises cover all of the pertinent information needed to feel comfortable working with the technologies in Azure AD. Having learned from Paul, the instructor, before, I am reaffirming that he’s an excellent, enthusiastic instructor and takes the time to make sure you understand the topics. I have and will continue to recommend OCT. (I brought a friend this time!) Thank you!
Have I any suggestions for improvements to the course? Maybe buy Paul a pint? Four days of talking must be dehydrating!
Paul the instructor was extremely precise, prompt, and knowledgeable. There was not a question he couldn’t answer! The Labs were extremely helpful and with Paul being there the whole time for questions, we were able to get over any hurdle. I learned a lot during these four days and hope to take more classes from Oxford in the future. Thanks!
The instructor, Paul, has a way of articulating complex ideas in a digestible way with little to no filler. The knowledge transfer was excellent. I am looking forward to future instruction from Oxford! Thanks again Paul. Learning remotely by Teams was good, and the questions my colleagues asked throughout the course contributed to my understanding as well.
This course was very insightful and in-depth on the inner workings of MIM. Paul Captainino, the instructor, is not only very knowledgeable, but is able to deliver a lot of technical information in a very digestible way. My experience o learning with Teams was great. There were no technical issues. It was great that the instructor could access our VMs and assist us on the spot with any issues.
Paul the instructor was thorough in his coverage of the material, he was knowledgeable in his response to questions and he brought humor to the course which helped students stay engaged.
Very informative, in-depth training. It greatly helped to increase my knowledge and understanding of the inner workings of MIM.
This MIM Advanced course is very good. It allowed me to see some of the features that can be applied to my organization’s MIM setup.
This training is exceptionally good! The course outline covers many different aspects but it does not prevent to go really deep in each aspect. John is an excellent teacher who can talk about complicated stuff in really simple terms. I would like to see more trainings like that!
A very deep dive. I really enjoyed the week, even if some topics were a little bit hard for me. The week has really helped me to understand all those things. 🙂
John was great and covered a lot of information in a clear manner. There was a good spread of subjects covered and each was given enough time and explained well. Top Class!
One of the better courses I have completed in the past few years with a decent level of technical depth and information that is truly valuable and comes from real experience as opposed to simple vendor functionality guidance.
Excellent course. Very informative, and the demos were par excellence. I enjoyed doing it self paced, there wasn’t any pressure.
Excellent. It was a very good course. Learning self-paced was a very good experience. I think a lot of efforts were made here to summarize a lot of precious information.
Excellent. It worked out well. While I normally prefer instructor-led courses, on this online, self-paced course, I could spend more time on the labs and “tinkering” than I would have in a classroom setting.
The instructor Paul was excellent during our 4 days training. He had fantastic patience and make everyone feel important.
Learning remotely by Teams was good. It felt like one-to-ones with the time Paul spent on everyone both as a team and individually.
Because it was a private course, we discussed scenarios that we see in our team, and it was fantastic that Paul was able to answer some questions that we had with regard to our daily tasks.
Very informative and the workshops were super to retain the information. In regard to my day job, having my colleagues on this private course was helpful, and when questions were asked I could relate to where I would be using and applying the information.
I felt overall the course was well covered, it was easy to follow and very enjoyable.
Another great course from Oxford Computer Training! I have taken several courses over the years and am always impressed by the depth of understanding that I come away with.
I thought the format and the pacing of the Modules, Labs and Exams was great. The fact that you provide the Module Videos, Module Docs and even a video walkthrough of doing the labs really re-enforces the content.
As with the MIM Foundation, the MIM Advanced course was well thought through and had real-world scenarios and tips. As always with OCT, the instructor was clear with not only the teaching but the purpose of the teaching.
Learning online, self-paced was good – I could run through as slowly or as quickly as I wanted, repeating any parts that I needed to clarify.
Excellent! I appreciate the instructor Paul’s knowledge and subject matter expertise. He was very quick to adjust the course pace and adapt to students needs.
This course was great! I love the hands-on training with the Labs. I like the private course with my colleagues because we got to go at our own pace. Attending over the internet worked well for me.
The instructor, Paul, seems to be an oracle of knowledge when we talk about identity management systems. He had time and patience to go through our queries and provide an insight and understanding. His sense of humour and ability to keep everyone engaged is commendable. Thank you Paul.
Excellent. The knowledgeable instructor made the subject easy to understand.
Very good course and instructor. Lots of useful detail generally pitched at the right level for me, that has left me confident to work with the synchronisation service in production. The instructos Hugh’s style was engaging and his pitch and tone kept me interested.
Paul is a great instructor and this is my second class with him (he taught my MIM Expert class in 2017). I appreciated all his expertise and patience with my questions.
Great content! I really appreciate how the instructor tailored comments and training content to my interests and training needs. Excellent. Thanks!
The course pace and materials were great. The real-world applications were shown well. Well done. My learning style would suggest that I absorb information better when applied, which means the labs were great for me.
Paul the instructor was fantastic. He did a wonderful job wrapping my head around MIM. He took extra care to make sure we have a good understanding of what we’re asking the system to do along with why we’d want to do it. He called out potential pitfalls to help us avoid issues. The course itself was very helpful.
I find learning by Teams/Zoom to be just as effective as learning in person learning so long as you can keep yourself focused, which I can.
A great course to understand the foundations of MIM. Learning remotely via Teams was great experience and everything went smoothly.
Overall it was excellent. I learned a lot in just 4 days.
Excellent video courses that dive deep, covering all aspects of the technical make up of Azure AD Connect.
Paul is a very good teacher. I can really say this: that he is an expert on MIM! Thanks again. Learning remotely via Teams worked perfectly.
Excellent. The instructor was engaging and did not just talk off the slides. I’ve taken many live courses online now and learning remotely works for me.
Paul was a great instructor. He provided a lot of details on how Azure AD is configured as well as security aspects. I feel like that I have gained a lot of knowledge after this training. Attending the training via Teams was great.
Excellent training. The instructor Paul is witty and gives a good understanding of the contents of the course.
As we are all now accustomed with online meetings and remote working, attending a class via Teams is not a problem. We were lucky that our group for this private training was small, so it was easy enough to interrupt for a question.
The benefit of learning privately as a team was that we could ask questions about things we all need to know as a team.
The course was up to the usual excellent standards and flowed nicely through some complicated topics. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I always enjoy doing a course in my own time.
Excellent training. The instructor was very thorough and knowledgeable, and always willing to assist in queries and resolve issues. I enjoyed the sessions and interaction with the tutor and other participants.
Course was well paced and the instructor was knowledgable and personable, a great experience and extremely efficient way to learn. Learning as team was great because the different disciplines were able to bounce questions off each other, and that deepened the learning experience.
An incredible course that I would recommend to anyone in this field. John Craddock is an exceptionally knowledgeable instructor with decades of experience and delivers this course masterfully.
There’s so much content here, it could easily be a 10 day course, and I would definitely attend it.
Thanks John for this course. It’s the best course I have done in many years.
Best course I ever attended! It was an intense week but every chapter was very interesting and very well prepared. As an online course, it was executed perfectly! The lab environment was great for putting the theory in practice.
John is a fantastically knowledgeable instructor and this course was amazingly useful.
Well designed and interesting hands-on labs. The course is also well-structure. Learned a lot from this Masterclass.
Paul, the instructor, did a stellar job of delivering a lot of technical content in a short space of time, and the whole team has improved their level of confidence. Learning remotely via Teams was flawless throughout and with the chat etc, it was very engaging. I think having a private course works well and is so much more flexible for teams spread out across geographical distances.
Excellent. Five stars. A very useful training program which has helped me understand the flows of MIM and different implementation approaches. Doing it privately by Teams worked well for me.
Excellent. I enjoyed the class and have a much better understanding of how MIM operates. I look forward to putting what I have learned during this class into action with my day to day work activities, and attending the MIM Advanced training in the near future. The class worked real well in this remote format. I enjoyed having this private class with my fellow associates. This, by nature, resulted in questions that were specific to our instances and topics where we do have a shortage of collective knowledge.
Overall, I thought the course moved at a good pace for us being all virtual, and the content was very detailed and enjoyable. The instructor Paul continuously demonstrated his expertise in the subject matter through his passion about technology and kept the course interesting.
Learning remotely was a good experience – I prefer it to traditional classroom settings because it is easier to interact and have questions answered in my experience. I think the benefits of learning privately as a team include gaining a comprehensive understanding of what the team knows and doesn’t know. It’s important that each team member is aware of what knowledge the team has and doesn’t have.
A very enjoyable course, well presented in a relevant and interesting style by Paul. Learning remotely by Teams worked for me. I was much more refreshed each morning than when I’ve stayed in hotels to attend courses.
Another great course presented by Paul. Very informative and well presented.
This was a training that exceeded my expectations by far and was definitely the most challenging I have attended. Even notions that I thought I was mastering were challenged by ‘professor’ John. Every minute of the 5 days was intense, and the course pushed me to go beyond my technical limits and learn and challenge more.I am really grateful for being able to attend this class and will continue to strive for excellence in my job due to this participation.Learning privately worked for me. It made me connect to my colleagues in ways and tech-discussions that we usually do not have time for at work.Special thanks to John Craddock again and again!
Excellent. A five star course. Thank you very much John!
I really enjoyed the class. John is great instructor and very knowledgeable. I would definitely take other courses with him. The benefit of learning with others from the same company privately is getting to meet new people and live troubleshooting.
Very intense, very relevent, and a lot of information covered in a very short period of time with an excellent level of depth. John is very knowledgable and passionate about the topic that he teaches. I don’t know where he gets his energy from in such a long week!
The course was excellent. Nice deep dive into authentication methods and use with Azure AD. Learned some valuable troubleshooting methods for app authentication. I liked that it was a private course – just people from the same company. Several of them I have worked with on projects before, with and that made it easier to discuss items in terms of projects we may be working on. The course was great and having the hands-on labs really helped to understand the material being presented. Learning by Zoom worked great. I am used to working from home and using collaboration tools, so this was like a regular day for me!
It is a great course. I learned the hidden features of the identity platform. I learned many new things through detailed labs, and John is really knowledgeable and guided us to learn well. During the pandemic, learning through Zoom is the best way one can learn. It worked really well and it was great to meet colleagues in the same company from different geographies and get acquainted with them.
John is clearly a total expert with great way of explaining things. The labs and material work very well, and incremental approach helps to build and solidify knowledge. Learning by Teams works – I miss meeting people though.
Excellent. The course provides great value to anyone who is looking for in depth understanding of Azure AD functionality, workflows and protocols. John did fantastic job of furthering my knowledge.
Excellent. Learning via Teams worked for me. It was nice to see my colleagues on a private course and hear what their questions were.
Paul is a great instructor and has an enormous amount of product knowledge. Learning by Teams worked great for me. I had no problems whatsoever, the small course size and knowledgeable people were very efficient.
Excellent course. Paul, the instructor, has a wealth of practical knowledge.
Very intense, very detailed. Raises your general understanding of MIM to next level. Excellent.
It was a really well structured course, I learned and enjoyed it a lot. Paul was a excellent instructor with a lot of knowledge about MIM.
Excellent! Easily the best training for any product I have had to date.
I have some years of experience with MIM, through installs to administration to even provisioning, but I decided to opt for the foundation course to help me better understand how to mitigate bad data. I’m happy to report that I learned far more than I thought I would, and developed the skills to manage exactly what I was hoping to learn more about. Paul is an excellent instructor and with his extensive knowledge and passion for MIM, paired with the intuitive labs, I was able to absorb a ton of great knowledge on MIM in only a matter of 4 days.The remote learning experience, via Teams, worked perfectly for me, even better than in person.
An intense, in-depth course. Paul the instructor knows the content inside-out and provides excellent examples and explanations of every element of MIM covered. Personally, I prefer in-classroom learning, but due to the pandemic situation I appreciate that it is not possible. All the content was thorough and well explained.
Excellent. The course was really well laid out, with a few modules each day. The VMs worked really well and it was good to have the snapshots for each point in the course. The PDFs were well written and easy to follow along with. Paul (our instructor) was well spoken, enthusiastic and happy to help with any questions.I didn’t mind learning via Teams as we could still see Paul via his webcam and he was sharing his screen. We could also use the chat feature and put our hands up or thumbs up about stuff, etc. It was good to learn with a colleague on the same course, as we could speak to each other or ask questions about MIM specific to our organization.
Paul, the instructor, did an excellent job, always postive in what must have been difficult circumstances running a training course over Teams. Course was informative.
Learning remotely by Teams was great. Everything worked very well and because it was a private course, the team was able to ask questions and collaborate via chat..
Learning online self-paced was excellent. A very good experience.
Paul the instructor was very knowledgeable and informative. He laid out the best practices and processes of MIM, and went into details if/when we needed additional information.
The private course with my colleagues went well. It might have been better if we were able to all be in person in a conference room together but that’s not possible with circumstances as they are in the world. Paul is a great instructor and made the very best of the online situation.
The instructor was organized, well prepared, and used class time efficiently. His teaching methods aided my learning, with the ability to remotely connect into the class VM and discuss the issues that I encountered. What benefits me most is the instructor’s feedback – it was helpful and improved my understanding of the material.
As a newbie in the identity world, I really enjoyed the course pace and hands on. Hats off to you & your team!
Excellent. John explains all the complex topics very nicely and it was a pleasure to attend the five day training. The presentations were prepared very well and the hands-on labs were prepared perfectly so that I was able to follow along without issues.
Learning via Zoom was a very good experience. No interruptions, good audio and good video quality. Training as a team worked well. It is interesting to hear what others say and generally in Covid times it is nice to see other people 🙂
The training was very comprehensive and detailed! It showed all the aspects of the identity lifecycle and what’s happening within both Active Directory and Azure Active Directory. Excellent delivery, and recommended for those who work with identity and security! Training has been fantastic! Thank you John for sharing your learnings with us!
John Craddock engages each student directly by name. The Identity Masterclass is exceptional even for seasoned professionals. The breadth of the scope that is taught is massive, but John makes the learning experience reasonable and you will come away with a great amount of retained knowledge.
I’d recommend learning remotely. I feel that in this case remote learning via Zoom is better than a classroom.
It was a great experience from every point of view! Deep dive into the topic, great examples, very kind and helpful attitude from John during the whole course and hands-ons. Big thank you John!
Learning by Zoom comes with the times, you know, after almost 2 years of home office, you just take it as normal. And a private course means team spirit is there for sure, with competition, humor, short chats and all those nice things 🙂
The training was great and John is an amazing instructor. I love the training delivery format, very engaging and interactive. Highly recommended!
Learning by Zoom was good, I find it effective and huge credit really goes to the instructor and the delivery format.
Excellent. I especially liked the balance between hands-on and theory. Attending remotely by Zoom worked great! It was also a good session to get to know your colleagues.
John knows his stuff, there’s no question about that. I can honestly say that this course is among the top three I had the chance to attend in the past decade.
Having already taken the MIM Foundation and the MIM Advanced, I feel that this is the course I needed to fully enhance my confidence in the product.
A virtual class is always fine. There is a lot of flexibility and it removes the rigors of a commute. It worked well for me.
The course was good. The labs are great to get hands-on experience. Paul, the instructor helped us in doing labs which is great!
Learning by Teams was great.
Instructor Paul is very knowledgeable, and has in depth understanding of this technology. I am looking for another training with Paul. Attending remotely by Teams was seamless.
Paul, the instructor, is machine with lot of ammunition for MIM. Glad to have a chance to be taught by Paul.
Excellent. The instructor Paul is very knowledgeable and experienced.
The course material was fantastic! I had no idea that there could possibly be so much content to cover for an “appliance” like Azure AD Connect. I look forward to my next course!
Paul was a fantastic instructor for us. It must be hard work teaching a class remotely and not seeing or hearing your class. But Paul made it look effortless, and was very funny. I know we all enjoyed the class. Learning by Teams worked really well for me on our private course, which all went really well to learn with colleagues as you’re able to discuss matters easier and more openly.
Very good detail and Paul, the instructor, did a great job of making sure all points were covered, and he was personable too. It was no problem to learn via Teams.
Paul, the instructor, has been amazing and highly knowledgeable, I’ve learnt a lot from him over the past few days and was very impressed with his approach to delivering the course. The benefits of private training are that you are doing it together as a team and can share experiences. Attending over the internet worked well.
One of the best online certification courses I’ve completed due to the no pressure, self-paced environment. The instructors and administrative staff made completing the course a breeze. I cannot recommend it enough!
The experience of learning online, self-paced was fantastic! The air around the course meant I could do it in my own time, with no pressure with deadlines or quotas to reach. I was training at work at the same time so being able to do this outside/inside of work hours has been so amazing.
Overall great class and the instructor, Paul, covered it very nicely. He has outstanding trouble-shooting skills. He solved and fixed every issue we had with the labs. Very impressive! I also appreciate Oxford holding the class with only two students – I really needed this for my work and I’m grateful you held the class. Over the years, I’ve taken just about all of your courses.
It was intense but I like the fact that Paul, the instructor, was willing to adjust the course time and pace according to my need. I absolutely recommend taking the course series for overall and deeper understanding of MIM. Learning via Teams worked for me.
Excellent. The material was good and the instructor Paul did a great job explaining MIM/PAM. Learning privately as a team with colleagues means we all understand the complexity of our own environment.
Excellent. This course was a better explanation about identity protocols and standards that I had access to until today. The base used by Microsoft Identity Solutions is so more clear for me now.
The biggest benefit to a private course is to establish a global network of people from the same company who work with the same type of technology.
Fantastic advanced content with unparalleled depth of explanation. John is very knowledgeable and helpful and is able to explain very complex concepts. Overall, a great experience!
Learning privately and remotely by Zoom was a very positive experience. Being able to see colleagues from around the world was very beneficial. It allowed for much more comfortable environment. It is great to get additional questions and input from colleagues, as this provided a much better real-world perspective for many of the topics discussed.
This course was excellent, insightful, and a must for any identity professional! John is a fabulous instructor who is well versed in Microsoft Identity and passionate about the subject which he demonstrates in his instruction and preparation of this course.Additionally the post class materials were an unexpected bonus value to be able to reconstruct the learning experience in our own environments. Thank you! Attending remotely by Zoom was excellent, convenient, comfortable, and cost efficient.
John is an awesome instructor with deep knowledge on the subject. He explains the concepts really well and keeps you engaged, especially the labs which are very well built and help in understanding the concepts. This is one of the best online trainings I have attended. This is an awesome course.
Learning privately as a team works for me as I enjoy online learning especially with the team, as you are able to share your experience and learn as a group.
John has a lot of knowledge both technically and as a teacher. His way of teaching makes it possible that people with different technical backgrounds can participate and everyone gets the attention he needs. Definitely a must if you want to learn more about how Azure really works in the field of Identity Management, B2B and B2C.
While prefering the more personal way of teaching, Zoom is a very good alternative especially considering you’re working with all kinds of colleagues around the globe.
Excellent. It was a great course, John is an excellent instructor with a lot of detail in his explanations of the topics, and his expertise was really helpful. Learning privately as a team helps to create and expand our network at the company.
Everything was handled in an excellent way. Very clear also for people with low Azure knowledge. The benefit of learning as a team on a private course is we can share experience and working scenarios.
The training was absolutely superb and I genuinely enjoyed each and every moment of it. The content was extremely informative and incredibly useful. I have attended several trainings before but I can’t recall any of them having such a strong impact. John’s knowledge and experience in the identity space were extremely helpful and intuitive.I will surely recommend this training to all my colleagues and friends. I, myself, would love to attend future training organized or featured by John. The course was perfect.
John is excellent in all areas and the content and labs are great and up-to-date. I highly recommend!
Learning via Zoom worked well. As an IT team doing a private course, we connected afterwards via MS Teams.
Great course and instructor. Paul did an excellent job instructing and making the material interesting. Great mix of humor, help, and teaching.
Instructor Paul did a great job explaining MIM, and his knowledge of the material and real world scenarios was excellent. Having a private course helped all attendees understand our environment together.
I found the course great. It provided clear and concise information while letting me have a hands-on approach with the use of the VMs. Learning online self-paced worked well for me as most of the time I studied this course outside of work hours. It allowed me to go back to previous modules that I needed to work on more. As MIM can get quite complicated with many “moving parts” at times, the images created to explain certain processes and information were incredibly helpful.
The course was logically organized for real-world examples, and insights from the instructor, Paul, made that more applicable to our environments. Paul was always available for questions and assistance in the labs with clear and concise explanations for whatever arose in the class. Learning remotely was seamless and there were no distractions of a in-person class. This allowed focused concentration.
Paul was a fantastic instructor! He was very entertaining and made the material more palatable than it probably has a right to be. The course material was spot on. The experience of learning by Teams was great and learning this way is my preference.
The instructor was very knowledgeable in the subject matter and engaging. He answered all questions. It was great learning by Teams.
The course was wonderful and the trainer (Paul) was fantastic too. The training relates to my current role at my organization and it will help me in performing my daily activities more efficiently. The lab modules are very good and gave me hands-on experience to learn the stuff seamlessly. I would highly recommend this to anyone who would like to learn MIM in-depth.
Due to the changed meeting methods, it was good to attend by Teams and take the course from the comfort of my home. I did not face any issues.
This course was incredible. Just what I was looking for. The modules directly pertain to my job and day to day.
The lab environment was perfect. Being a hands-on learner, it gave me the opportunity to work out of my comfort zone without worrying about potential impacts to my organization if I made a mistake. Paul was a fantastic instructor and very enthusiastic about the content which helps greatly when listening to lengthy lectures. I would highly recommend this to anyone, and am excited to pursue other training opportunities with Oxford Computer Training.
The class was run fine remotely by Teams. No complaints.
Paul was an excellent instructor and was super knowledgeable about MIM and all it encompasses. He answered every question that I had along the way before I could even ask, and had a lot of patience with the questions I did ask – and the MIM portal I ended up breaking! He made the 8 hour days entertaining (as entertaining as you can make MIM) and I would recommend him to anyone.
Learning live via Teams definitely worked for me because Paul was very engaging and consistently checked to make sure we were following.
Excellent instructor. The course was informative and very advanced. It has helped me to get some points clear and get an overall picture of MIM. The labs were clear and documented. Overall a nice experience.
Excellent. The course was very well structured and very infomative. The knowledge I gained will allow us to administer our MIM system.
I found the course very helpful in understanding the mechanics of MIM and definitely helped me in my role.
Course content was excellent and clearly delivered by Paul, the instructor. Any issues we had with labs were discussed transparently so the rest of the group could benefit from the solutions. The experience via Teams was great.
Excellent. The instructor, Paul Captainino, was great! He kept the training interesting and was very detailed when covering the course material. Would definitely recommend this course to colleagues.
Excellent. I liked the experience of learning by Teams, Paul (the instructor) makes it very interesting. I think attending the course privately with my colleagues will make it easier for us to help each other in the future.
Paul was a great instructor! He is extremely knowledgeable in all things MIM. His personality was just icing on the cake.
Paul (the instructor) was very engaging and definitely made me want to take more of the online classes. I’d definitely recommend learning remotely live via Teams. Thank you again! It was great and I appreciate Paul keeping his camera on to keep us engaged.
It was a very informative course, great resource.
Excellent course, I learned quite a bit. Learning by Teams worked great. It was great to be at home.
Excellent. I enjoyed being able to do the course at my own pace.
Paul is a top notch trainer and the MIM Foundation course was a plethora of highly valuable knowledge-share! I would recommend learning remotely by Teams. As a Pacific user, the Eastern start times were difficult, but the technology for delivery was easy and made it very flexible.
Excellent. Great course, full of content, sometimes it was so much information constantly flowing it was hard to keep up! Learning via Teams was great.
The course and instructor were both great.
My instructor was very thorough and every question that I thought to ask was addressed and answered. I completed the online self-paced course – it was great, everything was very clear and could not have asked for anything more. I want to especially thank Mark, Moth and Julie for all their hard work through all my questions.
I really liked the structure of the course. I liked to watch the lessons in 1.25 speed which worked pretty good. I loved the labs and I did those with the pdf and then watched the video to see if I did it right, and to see if they added any information to the steps.I really appreciate that my personal tutor sent me an email at the beginning introducing himself and telling me how I could get in contact if I needed help.
When I was enrolled in the course I was afraid of not learning due to language, but the instructor Paul was generous and patiently explained. After a year of pandemic, studying remotely via Teams works well.
The course was engaging and the huge amount of information was communicated in such a manner that I was able to follow and understand – not an easy task considering the subject. I liked learning remotely by Teams better than classroom courses – if anything, it was better online, since conversation between trainees is limited. For me the course was just perfect.
The training was an excellent opportunity to hear, learn and even have a hands on experience with MIM. The instructor, Mr Captainino, is an excellent teacher. His preparation for the course was outstanding. His knowledge on the subject is of a depth I could only admire. His capacity to keep us concentrated on the subject even if not in the same classroom, was remarkable. It was amazing to experience online training at this level.
Excellent training. Theory and labs well balanced. Very well explained!
The course was well presented and easy to follow. The labs cemented the learning. A big thank you to Hugh and Andi for answering all my queries in a timely manner and at unsocial hours too (the joys of late night studying).
Excellent. Learning online didn’t feel any different from a classroom – we have had the instructor Paul onsite for live training before and I didn’t feel that learning remotely was any less useful. I’d recommend learning this way.
The content of this course far exceeds that of the official documentation, and the labs demonstrate the content. Paul’s ad-hoc diagrams are gems!!! Can we get Paul’s diagrams published formally?! The course worked well remotely via Teams. Using Azure VMs also helps so no VPN usage – big bonus.
Paul delivered a nice course. Thanks a lot.
Paul, the instructor, was great and did an excellent presentation. He also helped me through the labs and gave us many tips.
As the third course in the MIM series, I was looking forward to it. Paul is an excellent trainer and I find the content and pace of the course is just right for me. I prefer in person courses as a rule but the online experience was really good, and well supported by the trainer. And definitely the fewest (0) technical problems I have had on an online course!
Very pleased with course. As someone who hadn’t even heard of MIM several weeks ago, I feel like I now know my way around enough to begin learning more how MIM at my company is implemented. The self-paced learning was particularly beneficial to someone like myself with no background. I was able to read through each lesson prior to listening to it, and then re-play sections as needed.
The quality of information was amazing and it gave me a deeper understanding about MIM. Paul did a great job in teaching all things!
This is one of the most impressive classes I have ever had the pleasure of taking. John takes the time to go into a significant amount of detail, covering every major scenario for each identity topic. The labs are extensive and allow the student to truly breakdown and understand each step of the process. The training experience is further enhanced by the ease at which John takes complex topics and simplifies them for all participants. Great course, John!
Instructor is extremely knowledgeable in course content (and beyond) and is able to take student real-world questions and answer questions and demonstrate solutions. Very much impressed with course labs. Labs challenge without spoon-feeding you every little step. They give you a chance to think about the answers and apply what you have learned. Also appreciated not wasting time, with extended lunches or quitting early. Really got our money’s worth.
Top notch instructor and course. Well done.
This class was very well-handled. The small size and interactivity makes it easier to follow along and interact with the class. Usually online training is just power points, large numbers of users with unmuted lines and nothing but talking avatars.
I like the labs and I like having the ability to setup our own after class, even if just for a baseline reference when troubleshooting more complicated real world scenarios. I suspect I can look back in my lab and see what I need to find when troubleshooting.
Everyone is different, and for me the online class in this format works much better than having to travel. And it’s opportunity to train more of my team, because if we had travel we probably would only have had one engineer attend.
The course was great. It connected several gaps that I had in my knowledge of OAuth2 and OIDC. Also very insightful for the AD Connect and Azure piece as I do not manage that area. The course exceeded my expectations, very helpful.
Enjoyed the class, I found it very beneficial.
The course was a very refreshing deep dive into some of the more technical details of authentication and Azure AD. Looking forward to reflecting back on some of the material as I implement better security in my work Azure AD environment.
Very Good Class!!
Excellent. Intensive course introducing PAM with clear explanation of the concepts.
Very good, high quality course, with an instructor knowing his stuff and very good in explaining the content. Very recommendable for others, with identity as work area.
John is a great instructor and knows exactly how to deliver the training and is brilliant at diving in to fix issues also.
Intense pack of information about different authorization and authentication protocols in 5 days. How to implement and troubleshoot them in different scenarios. John has done huge work with the labs which are working perfectly. Really enjoyed the course and now I know much more than before.
The best that you can have is that the instructor is far on top of the content. This is what I’ve seen here – John is absolutely on top here. He not only knows what he is telling, he stands for! So he provides a full trust about his content. Exercises are well prepared and also fit what he has explained just before. To my mind, definitely one of the best courses I’ve ever joined. Fantastic week! Thanks a lot!
John is very knowledgeable in the subjects he undertakes. I have to admit that this course was the most in-depth I’ve ever attended. Sometimes way deeper than I ever imagined but somehow John manages to keep it simple to understand.
The course is fast-paced as there is a lot of material to cover, but the instructor, Paul, has been exemplary in tackling this challenge and successfully explained the underlining flows of information, showed practical examples and assisted with lab materials when required. I managed to understand and learn all the points which I had targeted at the beginning of the course. The experience of learning remotely by Teams was good.
Learning online, self-paced was a good experience as it allowed me to attend a course most of the time, but not be completely offline. The content of the lessons is explained in a very good way without the need of reading too much in the manual.
Excellent. Paul is an informative instructor that knows the MIM tool better than most people. I would highly recommend taking any course from Paul. Learning remotely by Teams worked well for me.
Excellent. Very knowledgable instructor and a good level of complexity in the material.
Excellent. Instructor was excellent with a lot of knowledge.
Well paced and well designed training. It creates a solid expectation early on and goes through teaching how to reach those expectations. Learning through Teams was great and easily accessible.
Excellent instructor. We were just with two in class, but the instructor Paul kept teaching like he was for a huge audience. I felt very comfortable with that, all aspects of the course are touched and there was plenty of room for questions.
Learning live via Teams works fine, I can do the labs on my own machine, with plenty of screen real estate. I watch a lot of YouTube tutorials and this is kind of the same but with the possibility to ask questions right away.
Excellent. Paul was a great instructor, very knowledgeable and with excellent delivery. I would highly recommend this one-day course. It was my first time learning by Teams. Worked perfectly. All good.
Excellent. Good pace and in-depth explanation on complex topics.
It was great. I enjoyed the self paced training.
The MIM Expert course is the perfect finishing touch to the other two courses, and definitely leaves you feeling empowered to solve much more complex identity problems. Beyond this point, there isn’t anything in MIM that scares me anymore.
I really appreciated that this course had a lot of “assumed knowledge”, which gave me every opportunity to demonstrate to myself that I’d overcome some steep learning curves along the way.
I can’t recommend Paul highly enough as an instructor. He has an incredible grasp on the more complicated concepts in the product, and his experience shows in his delivery of the information. I don’t think there’s any one concept that I didn’t understand how to use as an expert would.
I recommend learning live via Teams. It gave me plenty of time to stare-and-compare details in the lab environment to my own production and dev environments.
As usual, Paul dumped tons of useful information in 4 days with efficiency. He’s truly one of the best instructors I’ve ever met.
The course was an excellent way of gaining in-depth knowledge about MIM. Paul Captainino’s knowledge of the system and of the course materials is first class and his explanations are excellent. The labs are detailed and well put together and give excellent hands-on experience with the system.
Learning remotely by Teams worked extremely well. The presentation was clear and easy to see and hear, help was available immediately whenever needed, and we were even able to work around a couple of other commitments in my calendar.
The class was extremely packed with info. It really de-mystified MIM to at least a manageable degree. Paul was a fantastic instructor, extremely knowledgeable in the product and very good at helping us to paint a mental picture of what is actually happening with MIM. I’d absolutely recommend learning remotely.
5-star course and 5-star instructor! Nothing to add. Instructor was teaching us – not just presenting the “knowledge”. Definitely recommended!
Excellent course. Paul is an excellent instructor. I have learned a lot.
Paul, the instructor, is beyond excellent as usual. I’ve learned a lot this week. Excited to apply it to our MIM!
Very good, well worth the money. I enjoyed it. Studying self-paced allowed me to break as and when I needed to or wanted to and to go back over anything where I might have missed something or perhaps ‘tuned out’ for a while. Excellent.
The online course was excellent and allowed me to stop when needed to review topics more in-depth and do the labs at my pace.
In my roughly 20+ years in the IT industry, this was by far the best class I have taken. Typically, a lot of classes marked as “advanced” in any way, don’t always meet everyone’s expectations. The level of detail on everything was fantastic, and all of the material being kept up to date to even include recent preview features was greatly appreciated. The labs were all set up in a way that you were given enough information to succeed, but you had to actively engage to complete them. This by far helps with retention in learning new information.
Not only did the class meet my expectations in content provided, it far exceeded it.
The masterclass is excellent. It is the most in-depth content related to the management of identity in the Microsoft arena that I have seen around. I am very satisfied!
I’m new to almost all of it, so found it challenging to hold onto all the terms, but the course has offered me the foundation I need to help me explore and learn about our implementation of MIM. The one-on-one call with Hugh was very helpful. Thank you!
The course covered what I expected: the foundation of MIM and maybe a bit more. The instructor was very enthusiastic and helpful until the very end of the last day.
Amazingly thorough course, and a very engaging instructor. He was always ready to answer questions and keep the subject interesting even after 6 hours of information overload. The switch between working the labs and receiving information helps in keeping focused doing the course.
One of the best courses I’ve ever attended. Incredible knowledge of the instructor.
Paul, the instructor, was at his best. Great to hear all that knowledge and the excitement. Love the MIM courses.
A very interesting course with real life examples in the labs and a great instructor. For me, it would be better to attend the course in the classroom but during these days attending via Teams is a great experience. Learning together privately and working as a team is beneficial for everyone. We can share our experience.
Excellent training. Instructor Paul is amazing. He speaks very clearly about techniques, he’s confident and knows what he teaches. And he has great sense of humour 🙂 Private training was worth it for me and my teammates. I’ve learned new things, we got an opportunity to deep-dive into the Azure AD Connect and Azure AD identity.
Excellent instructor – knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Remote learning by Teams works well. Having a private course gave us the ability to discuss company specific settings and configuration.
A great course which was brought every day with incredible energy.
Great information and great teacher!!!!! I really enjoyed the training. Paul, the instructor, was able to keep us focused on the course details with his energy. Having a private course with my colleagues was great! Together we learned a lot.
I thought the course was excellent and covered a lot of great material.
Great! I finished all the courses in the video training series. Lots of in-depth details, well presented and explained. Easy to follow. Thanks!
This is a great course led by a fantastic instructor. The course is well structured and all labs run flawlessly. It helped me understand the fundamentals of MIM. Most importantly, Paul (the instructor) makes the learning experience fun and engaging. He is knowledgeable, funny and always willing to help. I can’t wait to take the Advanced and Expert courses.The experience of learning live via Teams was good. I had zero issues and I could do it at home.
Great examples of how this complicated product works. Excellent instructor – no question was too small…
Learning live via Teams was great. It was just like as in the classroom except at my house!
The course was really good and I learned a lot. I would recommend learning by Teams.
My online tutor, Hugh Simpson-Wells, was excellent. I like his courses, he is well informed and provides the extra information I need to make it click in my head. Learning online, self-paced works for me. The course itself was well done and laid out.
Excellent. It was very helpful for my work. It was a joy to listen to the instructor Paul and his experience.
The experience was good. Nice to have the course fit my schedule and learning pace.
Excellent. I really like the way the instructor teaches the course – he tells a lot, but also leaves enough room for questions. This was the second time I attended training using Teams and for me it works very well.
The self-paced online Azure AD Connect Masterclass is a really great option for those who cannot spare the time to attend a traditional classroom style course. I have been dipping in and out of the course material for the last few months now and re-capping on certain aspects of the course.
The great thing about this option is it saved me from having to rely on using my own personal notes. The course content was spot on and a great eye opener into the mechanics behind how the AAD Connect tool works. Anyone who uses this tool would benefit from this course.
Lastly, there were two instructors who delivered the content. Both were very knowledgeable on their subject areas. I will look forward to seeing some of the new material that OCT release!
Paul was an excellent instructor. I gained a great deal of knowledge from this course. Learning by Teams worked very well.
This was excellent, Paul (the instructor) is great and I would highly recommend him. The course materials were spot on.
Excellent! Paul did a great job of keeping the course interesting, which is a hard task considering it was a MIM course :). Overall, a useful learning experience. Everything was organized and scheduled perfectly.
Paul, the instructor, has a very motivating manner, takes the time to answer questions, and is happy to help with problems during the lessons. For some time now we are used to working remotely, so learning by Teams is no problem. I would recommend it.
It was a very interesting course and I learned a lot. The instructor was very good, very clear and helpful with everything. Working with Teams went very well. Also the VM online were a great way to do the hands-on exercises.
Excellent! It was weird in the beginning to learn via Teams, but after a while I got used to the remote course, and for me it worked well.
Paul, the instructor, did a great job! He has a great understanding of the material and did a wonderful job assisting with the labs, which are quite involved! It was very convenient to learn live by Teams and to not need to worry about traveling (true at any time, but especially now, of course). There were adequate breaks and the pace of the course worked well.
Great course delivered by a great trainer. Learning remotely via Teams worked very well. Recommended!
The instructor was full of knowledge and answered all the questions on time. It was a very helpful week of learning for me.
Excellent! Oxford Computer Training has a great team that was very helpful throughout the training process.
It gave me a great overview of Azure AD Connect and practical experience of the system’s capabilities far beyond the official Microsoft docs.
Great! The course was a very informative one and packed full of useful content. I really enjoyed the course and I think it gave me a nice portion of knowledge about MIM.
Once again Paul, the instructor, has been extremely informative and clear and has provided a great view of the components of the MIM in the Advanced course.
Excellent. The course is good to follow with the labs and you can follow the instructor well.
Great trainer- I had him for both the MIM Foundation and the MIM Advanced course.
Course ran well remotely. This was the best training option during Covid.
Paul was excellent as always, and presented the material in an energetic way. It was great to get a full picture of everything MIM offers.
Paul was great in explaining the core concepts and walking through some of the most complex concepts. I especially loved how he re-iterated the core concepts thereby etching it in memory. I learnt a lot that I didn’t know about Azure AD Connect, and will highly recommend it to my colleagues.
Excellent course delivered by an instructor with intimate knowledge of the product and extensive real world experience. Learning by Teams worked just as well as sitting in dedicated classroom.
The course was great, and learning via Teams was great. The instructor Paul was awesome too – he really knows his identity.
Excellent! 5 stars.
Great course. The instructor was very knowledgeable and his answers often preempted the question.
Excellent instructor. Attending via Teams worked perfectly.
Good course and very knowledgeable instructor.
Great instructor!! Animated and keeps his audience engaged. Very Knowledgeable! Attending the course via Teams worked very well.
Paul is a very knowledgeable and engaging instructor. I thoroughly enjoyed the subject matter and Paul’s instruction. Attending the course via Teams worked perfectly.
The course was very informative and on point. Attending via Teams worked great – no problems!
The course was a great overview of all the different capabilities and features of Azure AD, and the instructor Paul was very entertaining.
The experience of learning via Teams was good; I encountered no problems.
As usual the instructor Paul was great and very knowledgeable when answering questions or if I had a problem.
It is the first time I have done a course remotely via Teams. I would definitely attend a course remotely again and, in fact, it would be my preference.
Excellent Teacher. I like that he explained in simple words. It was very easy to learn. Learning via Teams worked perfectly.
Perfect, the course is amazing. The content, the instructor is really professional. Really the best course.
Excellent experience. The instructor was great, he went over every little detail needed and answered every question we had.
I am very pleased with this course. Labs, videos and the other course material were very good, and easy to follow and understand.
I really liked the experience of learning online. It was very good to be able to do the course at your own pace, and to go through the labs and videos more than one time if something was not clear the first time. So I would recommend it.
The course was so good and the instructor was excellent. I learned so much about Azure, and the content was so clear. Learning remotely was good – no problems.
This course is so good, and I think Paul is the best!
Paul is a dynamic instructor who clearly knows his trade. He makes the lecture sections entertaining, and lends lab assistance in a very friendly way.
Paul is very knowledgeable and provides real world MIM experience. It was a pleasure to take the Advanced course with him.
This is my second course with Paul, and I hope to be able to take at least one more with him! I enjoy listening to his instruction, and the experience he brings to the teaching helps a lot.
Wonderful instructor, very knowledgeable on the subject matter. Learning via Teams was not much different than in-person learning.
Paul [the instructor] was great. There was a lot of information in a very short period of time but he really helped me. I am very new to all this but he made me feel comfortable as best as he could.
I think learning via Teams is great – it lets you communicate with one another if you want to, and I really enjoyed having someone there to always help me.
Very informative course and the instructor was great. Learning via Teams was a great alternative to being in the classroom.
Thanks to Paul for being an excellent instructor and for shifting your hours to make this class work for us.Did learning by Teams work well for you? Yes, this worked well for my situation. I have attended remote courses before.
Excellent experience! Very informative and deep course! I am full of useful information and my neurons and synapses are dancing foxtrot now!
Paul [the instructor] makes the subject entertaining enough so as not to lose attention and he clearly knows his MIM.
Excellent! 5 stars.
Excellent! 5 stars.

As always, Paul [the instructor] was excellent in both knowledge and delivery. Learning via Teams was very effective and convenient.
Excellent! 5 stars.
Excellent! Five stars.
As always Paul [the instructor] exceeded my expectations. Thanks for your patience and the four days. Learning via Teams worked great.
Excellent! Five stars.
Very detailed, techniques in visual studio benefited me a lot. The instructor delivered concise explanations with very little waffle and varied the four days well.
Excellent! Five stars.
The instructor was very knowledgeable about the course. He was there to answer all our questions and did a fantastic job in explaining/demonstrating scenarios.
Paul is the best instructor. I recommend a lot.
Excellent! 5 stars.
Excellent! 5 stars.
Excellent Teacher. I like that he explained in simple words. It was very easy to learn. How was the experience of learning via Teams? Perfect.
Paul’s a great instructor and my co-workers and I noticed the level of knowledge he had as he explained all the course. How was the experience of learning via Teams? It was clear and the lag or technicalities are almost non-existent.
Paul [the instructor] was extremely knowledge and made certain to focus on areas he thought especially important. NOT Boring!
Excellent! 5 stars.
Thank you Paul, your knowledge and delivery of the material was excellent! The course was relevant and insightful and can definitely be used to improve our infrastructure and future migrations.
It was easy to engage with Paul whilst sitting in the comfort in my own home. I would recommend remote internet learning to everyone because it was easy to interact either by asking questions directly or utilising the chat feature in Microsoft Teams.
The course was very enriching and the instructor was excellent. Private training worked well as our team members have different opinions.
Training was well worth the cost no complaints here. Website was fantastic, video quality was top notch. Teachers were well spoken and easy to understand.
Great course and, as always, [the instructor] Paul was on usual form. Solid technical detail and banter.
As always, Paul [the instructor] was excellent in both knowledge and delivery. Learning via Teams was very effective and convenient.
Paul [the instructor] clearly knows his MIM, and he makes the subject entertaining enough so as not to lose attention. Private training seems like a better experience as you can have open discussions about your current implementation or plans.
Excellent course. Really helped me get a better understanding of MIM and what it can do/how to configure it.
The course was great. I am in the process of re-installing Azure AD Connect to replace a very old version, and the information from the course has caused me to make significant changes to how I configure the new implementation.
Thank you Paul! I am so glad to have taken this course with you. I learned a lot.
Attending over the internet worked well for me. I was well connected with my colleagues and the instructor while attending remotely.
The course is great, very informative. Taking it online was great.
A good course. I learned exactly what I was hoping to learn and where to look for items such as scripting that will need a little more work as I work though some use cases for clients.
Learning remotely via Teams was excellent. I found it great to focus and be able to use my own equipment.
Good course, diving into more complex features of MIM. Very good to be able to study at my own pace and being able to focus on the most interesting/relevant parts of the course.
An excellent course that helped me understand MIM. It’s cool that you get a tutor in case of any questions. I loved the fact that course is split into 8 modules. Videos are very helpful also.
Excellent. The course, my instructor Hugh Simpson-Wells, and the support team are great. They provided feedback quickly.
The MIM Advanced course provides great information on how to further configure MIM using either the MIM portal or the MIM service. Both of these are very beneficial to my new position since we will be working on enhancing and maintaining our MIM services.
Paul was our instructor again. He provides a lot of information that was not mentioned in the documentation that is very beneficial. During our classes, I asked multiple questions and he provided great insight and knowledge in answering them.
The instructor Paul is awesome and really knows his stuff! Learning live by Teams really worked for me, I did it from home so I was not distracted at all.
Paul is a great instructor. He knows a lot about the material, and if you ask him a question about how you want to implement it in your environment, he can give a good answer, what you should and what you shouldn’t do. He’s a great speaker. I had a good laugh and lots of fun in the world of MIM.
When I come back to the office we are going to start implementing MIM, and in this Foundation course you get more about the configuration, the MAs, and the rules you want to apply. I would recommend this course.
We have an implementation of MIM. The people who look after it at the moment have very little knowledge. We sort of click here and click there and hope we’re doing the right thing. I’ve really picked up a lot this week.
Paul is a great lecturer, he delivers his lectures well, he knows his subject. You get that feeling that there’s nothing he can’t answer. He’s been around the block with this particular product. Very good, very impressed.
Absolutely, now we can definitely start expanding on our current implementation. Now we can go the next step. Oh, definitely I would recommend this training, there’s no question.
Now I know the fundamentals about how MIM functions, and this will greatly help me in the future as I build my capability with MIM. Learning online was great. The course material is easy to follow and to understand.
This was a great class and filled in the many holes in my knowledge of MIM that I had had since implementation.
Very informative and engaging with good pace. The instructor was friendly and patient with helping when I had issues with the labs.
Excellent. It was my first time learning remotely via Teams, but it worked well, and I could focus. I was comfortable and in my own space. I did not need to rush, and could review things as many times as I wanted.
Paul is an excellent teacher. He is very knowledgeable; has a great sense of humor; and knows the product really well.
The MIM foundation course gives great insight on the basic configuration of MIM and how all of the pieces interact together. Since I will be working with MIM for my new position, the knowledge provided in the course will be very beneficial. During the training, our instructor (Paul) did not just lecture about concepts but provided schematics and a demonstration on how these functions worked – both of which are great methods of teaching.
Learning online, self-paced was excellent. Excellent support during the Christmas holidays to get my online course up and running. Thank you again Mark and Andi! The lab environment worked very well, and the material was well composed. Also a huge thanks to Julie who made a refund when I accidently overpaid.
A great course covering the fundamentals of MIM, which gave me the foundation to continue with more advanced topics on MIM. I’m very satisfied with being able to take the course online at my own pace at hours suitable for me.
Paul is an excellent instructor and answered every question we had. Learning with colleagues on a private course was great as we had a few different groups represented.
A private course seems like a better experience as you can have open discussions about your current implementation or plans.
Excellent. A very broad topic so it’s easy to be overwhelmed. The instructor Paul’s high level of comfort with the course and product meant he found any errors I made in the labs in seconds – he clearly knows it inside and out.
Course and instructor were both easy to follow and the material was presented at a reasonable pace.
Excellent course. Really helped me get a better understanding of MIM and what it can do and how to configure it.
Paul, the instructor, was awesome. He explained how AD Connect works in details with diagrams that were easy to understand and flowed. When I ran into a lab issue, he worked off line to help figure it out.
We are looking at implementing MIM and we needed to get some more knowledge in-house. So my UK colleague Googled ‘MIM training’ and found you and here we are together training this week.
I was really confused at first about how MIM synchronization works, and being on this course helped me understand in which order things are synchronized, what the difference with exports, delta import, full import – those sorts of things. It’s been really an eye-opener.
Paul talks a lot, but that’s great! He’s good, and funny with how he presents stuff and very helpful when you get stuck. It’s a great course – it’s really great being here. The facilities are great, and the food is great.
Excellent course. Attending remotely via Teams worked well – just as good as attending, except I had to provide my own food!
I found the information was exactly what I needed to learn. The instructor Paul was flexible and willing to go the extra mile in answering questions. It was useful to have real world examples in the course.
Great. This course gives me a great understanding of the product and how it works, and will assist me to manage our MIM environment.
Excellent. I enjoyed being able to go at my own pace and in my own time.
Course was very good and gave a good understanding of the MIM product. The documentation is very good and the labs are easy to follow. It was good to have the videos of the labs to refer to when issues arose, and to use as a review tool as well.
The course was awesome!
Excellent. A great class and great instructor.
Excellent course. Learning online, self-paced worked very well for me. I liked being able to pause, take a break and not have to keep up with everyone as I would have had to in a classroom-based course. I only needed to contact my instructor once when I got a little off track with the labs. Andi replied promptly and reassured me that I was on the right path.
The instruction was great. I liked the explanation of the more complicated topics. I really like self-paced learning and the ability to go back and review a video on the more complicated modules.
The course content was spot on! Paul is an excellent instructor and makes the course interesting and keeps you engaged with his brilliant humor. I have thoroughly enjoyed it!
New coffee machine is great!
Thoroughly enjoyed this class. A good mix of lectures, labs and banter.
Classroom and facilities were great, with a nice selection of drinks. Thanks ‘Captain’.
Paul is an excellent instructor. Very knowledgeable, and has a great personality. He deserves a new bike!
I was my first time doing a course remotely. It worked perfectly fine.
Great course and instructor. The content is very organized and exact.
An excellent course.
Fantastic course, and very good classroom and facilities.
Course was set out well, with a nice pace.
The labs were great. The instructor Paul was clear and very helpful. He would park unrelated questions well, and continue with the training – those parked questions were answered during lab time. Great.
We are implementing MIM in our organization. One of our partners had done this MIM training in Oxford, and he suggested I should come here, to the source of the expertise, to be explained in detail how MIM works. It’s a difficult system to understand how it works. The instructor is a very experienced guy, there is so much material to get through. He’s joking sometimes and showing explanations very well – an excellent lecturer. I have learned so much I can carry into our MIM project. It’s a very worthwhile course.
I like to take this course in the classroom, I like to be able to ask questions directly to the lecturer.
Paul was an excellent instructor. Very knowledgeable. Sparkling personality.
Excellent. Very full information provided by a trainer who clearly knows his material well. Good venue, excellent food.
Great content and great instructor. Complex topic, but the instructor managed to explain it in a way that makes it all understandable. Great classroom and facilities.
Excellent. Very informative and taught at a good pace.
Great course, knowledgeable instructor and very personable. Location was relaxing and a great environment for learning.
A good experience and great information. MIM is such a complicated product to try to pick up by yourself, so having someone lead you through it, step by step to give you a good grounding is probably essential. The tutor, Paul, is engaging, energetic, and keeps the momentum going. Now I’ve done this course, I’ll be able to more proactively keep things running and fix problems when they occur.
Best value course I have been a part of recently. I’m determined to come back for Advanced course. Paul is the best instructor I could come across.
The course has given me ideas as to how I can change my environment in the future for the better. It’s opened up my eyes in an area I thought I had a really good grasp of; John has clarified the nooks and crannies. John is thorough and complete in his answers.
A really great experience, a worthwhile course and worth the investment.
Excellent class. John covered everything I wanted to know, and did a great job of explaining all the details and nuances.
John Craddock is extremely knowledgeable on all sorts of legacy and modern authentication protocols, and is able explain them and their advantages/disadvantages with real world example scenarios. I highly recommend this class for anyone that is interested in the subject, beginner or veteran.
Excellent! This class was well put together, and right on the money as far as problems we are facing. It helped tie together several loose ends regarding how the new cloud infrastructure and the old on premise infrastructure can be used together to create a both secure and user friendly environment.
Excellent content and very thorough. The course shows the background mechanics for application and session management in Azure. It fills in a lot of grey areas.
The course was excellent. John is extremely knowledgeable, and takes the time to understand his students and some of the pain points they are going through.
Great content and Paul (the instructor) did a great job.
This course is great, just what I needed to know. If you need MIM training, you need to go to Oxford Computer Training because they are the MIM trainers!
The content and pace were both perfect. Paul was an exceptional trainer. Very happy.
The course was really good and it was tailored to what we required as a team.
The course gave me a good overview and understanding of even more of the stuff I need to fully understand.
Doing a private course with my colleagues it felt more comfortable asking questions, and it was nice to do it in a familiar environment.
A good course – engaging and detailed, providing a good operational understanding of the product.
Learning with colleagues on a private course meant we had personalized targeted training.
I’m glad I did this course online as there was an opportunity for me to review the presentations to help me really understand the material.I have time constraints but I was able to do it over several weeks.
Paul is a great teacher, really enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all things MIM! He’s happy to answer all questions and explain in detail not only why but how to implement the solution. It was very helpful to work through labs with colleagues on this private training.
Excellent course. I liked the self paced course as I didn’t feel rushed and I was able to study on my own.
Excellent. Paul is a fun instructor, he moves quickly but he explains in a way that’s easy to retain information and makes a dry topic fun.
Although I have spent some time working with Azure AD Connect in certain scenarios, I found it extremely useful to look at and find out about other features in Azure AD Connect that I haven’t used before. Lots of useful extra info as well, even in the areas that I thought I already knew!It was quite straightforward to use the online presentations and tutorials. The labs were good and all worked for me as described in the notes and demos.
Excellent instruction – the technical discussion was broken down into easy to understand segments.
The instructor was a great speaker, very engaging and highly knowledgeable of the product.
The course was very thorough for a foundation course. and Paul, (the instructor) was great about answering questions and explaining the details.
I thought that the tutor, Paul, did an excellent job instructing such a complex and vast tool. I feel more confident returning to my company to help with our MIM implementation.
I always prefer in-person training rather than virtual (via Skype), however, Paul made sure to include us who were joining via the Microsoft Teams app in conversations in the classroom.
Excellent course and very detailed. Learning self-paced was suitable for me as I was able to do the course in times that suited my schedule, and at my own pace.
The instructor is very professional. I found the training very helpful for my work, and I hope I can come back for the MIM Expert course.Since everyone on this private course is working in the same company, there were common questions but they all were regarding our environment from different views (SAP, Helpdesk, operations). A very good experience.
The course was excellent. Paul covered lots of information, is very knowledgeable on the subject, and I learned a lot from this training. It was great to have an instructor who is an expert in MIM and who could easily share his knowledge with our team.The Skype training worked well so that all team members globally could attend and learn together. Being able to give everyone the training at once and hear others’ questions and comments was very valuable. Being able to combine parts of two courses (Foundation and Advanced) also was great as we could customize the training to be specific to what we needed to know.
Excellent. No problems whatsoever with Skype – everything worked great, and I could could chat with colleagues via Skype in different sessions to figure out the correct questions to ask.
Interesting course. Paul is a good instructor, he explains things well and clarifies when there are questions. I definitely have an understanding now of MIM and its capabilities.
The instructor has all the knowledge we needed. The labs were very helpful, and the virtual machines always worked well with no problems. The benefit of a private course was that we can ask for more details on specific subjects we think we will use in our organization.
As always, a fantastic course. This MIM Advanced course definitely had way more content to consume [than the MIM Foundation], and pretty much answered all outstanding questions. I’ll definitely need to go through it a second or third time.
Learning online is great. Plenty of time to dig into the content with no distractions.
The instructor Paul was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Well delivered. Clear explanations. Clearly a knowledgable instructor.
Excellent in depth content in advanced techniques.
Very informative. Paul the trainer, has extensive knowledge of the MIM product suite.
The course was very good. Troubleshooting issues within MIM will be easier as of now. Paul was an excellent trainer who knows what he is talking about. Overall, it was a real learning experience!
Good course, good instructor – very helpful. Would be happy to be taught by him again.
Excellent. The course gives a comprehensive introduction to MIM. It gives a clear description of the product’s capabilities and how to implement it.
Paul [the trainer] was both very knowledgeable and personable. His ability to relay complex information is a critical reason why we are planning to have him back. Study and lab materials were amazingly detailed, concise and accurate. Great job. Thank you so much.
Paul was an excellent instructor who knows the topics very well. He explained the various sections clearly and was a great help with the labs.
Great course, very precise labs manuals. Instructor very well versed in the course topic.
Paul [the trainer] is confident on the subject, fun and helpful in class.
Excellent instructor. Learning by Skype is the best way. It saved my time not to attend the class, and I could still learn while I am overseas.
Love the Captain* , always informative and entertaining.
[*the instructor, Paul Captainino]
Excellent. The instructor was very knowledgable and helpful. Attending by Skype gave me flexibility.
Extremely detailed, riveting and worth every second. The instructor Paul was entertaining and didn’t lose our focus.
An ideal course for the ones wishing to learn more about identity and access management.
Paul is an amazing instructor and explained everything in a very good way.
Excellent. Paul has been an effective and enthusiastic trainer, displaying a great depth in subject knowledge.
Lunch and refreshments were very good.
Paul was an excellent instructor. He assisted us through the labs when needed, and had lots of field expertise too – a refreshing thing to see as often trainers train and don’t “do”. A great 4 days.Skype has worked successfully all week I would recommend learning this way.
This is one of the best courses, if not the best, I’ve ever taken.
The course manual and lab guides are first class. The lectures and demos are very instructive and pitch just the right amount of detail. The instructor’s style of delivery is very relaxed and you can tell he is a master of MIM. I liked where he advised where something wasn’t practical, or bad design and not just following the Microsoft line when teaching the course. I recommend this course very highly.
Initially, I had reservations about learning online, self-paced, but the quality of the lectures, demos, manuals, lab guides and tests were so good, there was no feeling of being swamped. You can also pause the lecture and google the concept you’re at if you are not sure about something.
I can’t think of any ways in which this course could be improved, which is credit in itself!
This course was great. Jam-packed with good, good, good information. I plan to take the MIM Advanced training course soon.
Excellent. The lectures and labs worked well to provide a good overview of PAM.
Studying online, self-paced was great. The course has been incredibly helpful for me to understand this massive system we have just put in and I will be required to support.
I’ve just finished up the labs and all of the quizzes and wanted to send some praise your way. Thank you so much for all of the prompt assistance. The course support staff and my personal tutor were friendly and considerate. My questions were answered with such detail that it felt more like bonus training. The clarity of the lab instructions enabled me to work through the labs and all of the module material easily. The pace of the content was good.
Very good. I am very satisfied with the online training.
Excellent. Not only was the course informative but it also provided a great understanding of what MIM can do. I look forward to expert course.
I attended live via Skype from Shanghai. Excellent course content – exactly what I wanted, the lab environment is great, the instructor is experienced and patient in answering all questions. We plan to have all members of our team do this training.
Great course, great lab environment, the instructor explained things very clearly and was very patient, beyond my expectation.
Excellent. Paul was a great instructor, very enthusiastic and animated. The training material was well done and easy to follow.
A five-star course.
As I am deaf, I used MS Stream to add subtitles to the videos.
The course was very instructive and filled in knowledge gaps I had. Paul was an excellent instructor. Learning with colleagues on a private course was beneficial because we were able to have discussions specific to our implementation and how that tied back to the training materials.
The course was thorough, the labs were excellent for reinforcing and applying concepts, and the instructor was engaging and entertaining in his delivery of the material.
The instructor, Paul, was knowledgeable and engaging. Many of my classmates had MIM experience. I had no MIM experience but lots of IAM history. Paul was able to quickly answer both my novice and advanced questions.Our company asked for a tailored course and Paul provided that; we were able to choose a mix of labs and discussions that best fit our needs and evolving knowledge base.
The instructor was extremely knowledgeable about MIM and how to approach its use in a real world deployment. He did a remarkable job of demonstrating multiple, serial steps necessary to implement integrated MA and portal policies at the rapid pace necessary to cover capabilities of the product.
The private classroom setting made it much easier for class participants to focus on MIM for the duration of the class. It enabled us to cover advanced topics and stay engaged. The private class made it possible to have side conversations and identify one or more approaches for solving the challenges and problems that we have observed in our organization’s MIM deployment.
Paul’s class was entertaining, engaging, and memorable.
We had not had the MIM Foundation course, but Paul, the instructor, was able to fill in the background in real time while presenting the Advanced course material. A treat to have someone with such deep understanding of the products to teach us.
It was great to receive private training on MIM that covered our organizational needs.
When deep diving into a dry subject as ID management and synchronization, Paul’s overall knowledge and sense of humor pulled us through. Also, that he took time to review our goals and problems in addition definitely added value. I think private training, onsite in our classroom is the way to go.
A well defined course. The instructor disseminated technical knowledge effectively and was clearly well prepared.
Paul was very engaging and went out of his way to ensure our particular questions and concerns were addressed throughout the training.
It was valuable to have admins, engineers, architects and managers doing this class together as private training for our organization.
Paul, the instructor, is very knowledgeable on this subject and speaks well and with good humor, which makes the class more enjoyable.

As always the instructor Paul went above and beyond on this course. I really enjoy his teaching and can’t wait to do the PAM course.
Excellent course, tons of information. I learned much. There is so much information in the videos that I keep reviewing them to get all the information. Looking at our existing MIM configuration now I finally understand how the system works.
This training did a fantastic job of breaking such a complex topic into manageable, digestible bits!
Input Input Sync Sync Export Export. Killer instructor!! Cheers Paul!
It’s always really productive learning with colleagues on a private course because by knowing our business we can think of applicable scenarios that match the instructor’s explanation.
Paul, the instructor, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Paul was very attentive to those of us attending live by Skype.
Course was great, tons of content. Paul is a great, easy going, fun teacher. It was not dull or dry, I was on the seat of my pants the entire time.
Excellent. This course was very informative. I highly recommend.
It was a good course with good demos. It was nice to have the time and opportunity to do things at my pace. The lessons and demos were so good I didn’t have to contact my instructor once. The experience of learning online, self-paced was perfect. A nice way to be able to combine work and course.
Paul, the instructor, was very knowledgeable and personable. His pace was engaging. I now feel more confident going forward with my FIM/MIM workload.
A good refresher. Paul was an excellent instructor and did a good job. I’m looking forward to the next class.
Excellent. It’s always hard to know just how good training will be, but this course was incredibly useful and has given me a solid foundation, so I guess it’s aptly named! As is the case with most good courses, the benefit was largely in having Paul as an instructor. He kept our attention and made the course fun and entertaining, which is of course why it was so effective. I hope to be able to take the next course with Paul as well!
I had a really positive online learning experience. It was nice to decide for myself when I spend time on the course.
Paul, the instructor, was excellent, well spoken, and very knowledgeable. Doing the course privately with colleagues is nice because we can discuss some of the issues surrounding our environment while learning.
Excellent. ‘The Captain’ nailed it again.
Course content and instruction was excellent.
Paul, the instructor, kept what could be a dry course, interesting and easily understandable. The classroom was well set out and the food excellent.
The course was very informative and very well taught. It wouldn’t be the same without Paul, who is an excellent instructor.
The food was really good.
The self-paced class was thorough. The labs were easy to follow, and a lot of the questions I had during the lab were answered further down in the ‘note’ boxes in the lab documents. I thought it was a really great course.
A very good trainer with a nice sense of humour. Even me, a total beginner, was able to follow most parts of the course.
An excellent course, Paul (the instructor) is really an expert on the subject.
The private course was perfect for our situation and team.
Paul (the instructor) was very knowledgeable and personable. He had an answer for nearly every question. Excellent.
Very informative and relevant.
Excellent. As usual from Oxford Computer Training, the course was well presented and thorough.
The labs cover the topics well, and follow a familiar style both from the Oxford Computer Training world and from the Microsoft world. When I hit a few issues I was able to sort them out with tutors Andi and Hugh. I found it very welcome to have James as well as Hugh presenting the video modules, adding extra stimulation throughout the course.
Paul has been an excellent trainer. I am pleased to have him teach me for a second time in MIM. I have gathered so much of knowledge of MIM!
The MIM Advanced course is very informative and well presented. It has definitely improved my knowledge of MIM 2016. Learning with colleagues on a private course helped everyone understand MIM 2016 together, which raises team morale in supporting MIM in our IT environment.
Great. Very useful.
Great course.
Excellent. Would recommend to colleagues.
Excellent instructor, would recommend to colleagues.
By far one of the greatest training courses I have ever experienced. With a topic as deep and as wide as MIM, this course covers everything you need to know to get started with the product.
Initially, MIM is quite difficult to grasp due to a lack of clarity in most of the public documentation. This course absolutely, 100%, solves that problem and then some. Everything is organized in a clear and concise manner in the videos, and the labs are structured in such a way that they parallel real-world implementations and business needs specifically.
The experience of learning online, self-paced was fantastic. The pacing was just right and the labs were very accessible.
Awesome. Simply awesome. I cannot wait to take the MIM Advanced course. I could not recommend this course or OCT’s training more.
Excellent. Very helpful to current job issues. Learning by Skype worked well as I could attend from home.
Excellent instructor. Obviously deeply knowledgable. Attending the class live by Skype was useful and flexible.
Overall this is one of the better-run courses I’ve taken, online or in-person. I liked the format of the course, matching a typical Microsoft class with lectures and labs. I actually found the quizzes and exam very helpful. They were actually pretty challenging and got into the details, which is unusual for an on-line course in my experience.
Andi was my tutor and her responses via email were prompt and on-target. The questions that came to mind as I watched the presentations were answered by the time I finished the course.Doing the course online was only way I could have taken the class. Being self-paced made it easier for me to schedule the training during a quieter period at the office, and to fit it around a one-day conference I had to attend this week.
The materials were extremely well chosen and put together. Doing the course online was perfect as I had extra time to spend on specific topics of interest and repeat hard-to-understand modules.
The instructional videos were super great, especially being able to rewind/rewatch and work into my schedule.
I have just finished the reading and labs. This is a heavy but most rewarding course for me, lots of new acronyms to learn! The course material is extremely well worked and instructive. Thanks for that.Note: See our handy acronyms list!
I loved the self-paced course, since my work schedule only allowed me to do this course in my own time. I also appreciated the responsiveness and expertise of my personal tutor, Hugh. In addition to that, you were able to accommodate my requests – much appreciated.
The instructor was knowledgeable and put the course across with some humour. Attending by Skype saved me 2 days of travelling.
Excellent content given the broad subject matter, delivered with expertise and humour.
The instructor was very good, and answered everything we needed to know.
Great informative course.
Amazing contents! It gave me a lot of undocumented knowledge, and that’s so useful for me.
This was useful course that clarified many things about Azure AD Connect. Studying online was good experience. The labs were very useful.
The instructor Paul was great at providing great ideas and knowledge of MIM. Learning live by Skype works great.
Excellent course. Studying online, self-paced in my own time was better than expected!
There’s a lot of information but it’s easily accessible and manageable. Learning online, self-paced was very good to fit round busy schedule.
Excellent explanations of the course information and the examples provided.
The course is very detailed, which helps me as a beginner of MIM. After taking the course I now understand the concepts and operation. As there is a lot of information, taking the course self-paced is even better for me as I have time to digest one module before going into the next.
I enjoyed the online course. It had a lot of useful information that you won’t find anywhere else. The modules were great and I’m glad I can always look back and refresh my memory. However, the labs are the most important by far as they help solidify the information from the modules.
I had no previous exposure to MIM before the course. I thought the course was very helpful and the instructor very knowledgeable.
I came to the course without any knowledge. But by the end of the course I am able to handle the MIM identity management with confidence!I am impressed with the training room and the facilities.
The course had a good balance of labs and lecturing. Paul, the instructor, made it interesting with his great sense of humour. Paul has a great way of teaching and keeps everyone engaged.The classroom was very good and has all the equipment needed. The food provided was great.
I’m very satisfied with the knowledge I’ve picked up in just 4 days, mainly thanks to the way Paul (the instructor) executed the sessions. Excellent.
The course is very well set out. Paul (the instructor) is very passionate about teaching it.
Excellent! Had a great time learning all this. Thank you.
Five star course, excellent instructor.
Paul [the instructor] is a dude!
It was good to work through the various implementations to try and see how my organization will install this.
Excellent. Really enjoyed the course. This will be useful for when we start supporting Azure in our organization. It’s good to work alongside colleagues on a private course – we can ask questions and work through the labs together.
The course was a positive experience, and met my expectations and needs.
I know I have a lot left to learn, but the course provided me with the 30,000 foot overview that allows me to drill down further into the areas that I need to.
Learning with online resources comes naturally. I was able to manage my time and I have the discipline to complete the tasks at hand. I am looking forward to the MIM Advanced course.
The instructor, Paul, was not only extremely knowledgeable, but very entertaining as well. Paul has extensive experience working with PAM/MIM in the field, and by sharing his own experiences with the product the course was tremendously enriched.
I thoroughly enjoyed the class and would wholeheartedly recommend it to any one looking to understand how to implement PAM in MIM.
The course was very well structured, and was delivered in a professional and engaging manner by Paul.
Learning with colleagues privately allows us to bounce ideas off each other, and assist in groups to solve issues. Excellent.
I really enjoyed the course and I am looking forward to the next course and using my new skills in the workplace. It’s nice to all get to together on a private course, and help each other out on the labs.
Very knowledgeable instructor, fun and great diagrams drawn throughout the course – and lots of talking! Doing it as a private course made it relevant to our enterprise environment.
Excellent. Enjoyable. Paul (the instructor) brings a dull subject to life.
Excellent. The instructor took the time to go into as much detail as each of us wanted for every section of the course. I learned a great deal about each aspect covered.
The MIM Expert course was very important for me because we have a complex identity environment and now we can be much more effective at using MIM. Paul [the instructor] is, of course, the right guy teaching it! Always a pleasure…thank you!
The course is very interesting and very useful for me. Exactly what I was expecting. The instructor (Paul) was, as usual, amazing.
The course was really informational, and I learned a lot about MIM than I have done before, especially the dev side. Paul [the instructor] explained everything clearly and taught the course really well.
I enjoyed the online class. Very informative and up-to-date material.
Excellent. Doing the course online was good for labs. It gave me time to experiment.
The course was solid and emphasize some very important points. Learning online worked well for me. It would have been hard for me to do the course over one set period of time.
Paul [the instructor] did an excellent job explaining the basics of MIM. He was easy to understand and provided a wealth of MIM knowledge. Doing the course by Skype was easy.
Paul is an excellent instructor, very knowledgeable. The course was very interactive, and learning by Skype is great way to take a course if you’re unable to attend in person.
The course was very good and material was well-presented. Paul [the instructor] was great and you can tell how passionate he is about the product and very knowledgeable. I learned more about the product than I ever knew in the past. Great refresher course if you support the product in your career.
The instructor was very knowledgeable and accommodating as I wasn’t able to attend all the class time. He was able to move things around so I got the material and I did the final labs on my own.
Paul (the instructor) did a fantastic job, and was deeply knowledgeable about the subject. The documentation and labs were top notch.
Paul (the instructor) was great! The class really improved my understanding of MIM.
The course was excellent and so was the instructor. I had some knowledge of FIM/MIM but this course helped me understand it much better from an administrative perspective.
An energetic and thorough training course. This was an excellent overview of MIM.
The course gave us a detailed insight into MIM. Axel [the instructor] did that in his professional but relaxed way.
Excellent instructor.
Paul [our instructor] was great at explaining the concepts. I feel that I’ve a good understanding of Azure AD Connect.
An excellent course as I had expected from previous experience. Paul is an excellent instructor and we learned everything I expected and more.
Private training allowed us to compare our experience at our institution to the material in the course and understand how it applies to our specific needs. This is very important for us.
Axel, the instructor, had excellent presentation skills and knowledge. He answered all the questions even beyond the course topic. He had perfect time management.
The course was very informative and clear on objectives. Paul (the instructor) did a great job assisting us through. I thoroughly enjoyed the course, and especially Paul.
I think it was very helpful for us to all be on the same call* to work through various problems. I think it helped a lot with overall learning, especially being able to all hear the answers to the questions. The training was effective, and I really did enjoy learning about how to set all of this up.
*this was a private course conducted via Skype
Great introductory course and enjoyed having an instructor who was knowledgeable as the product is constantly under development and incorporates many changes and new product enhancements all the time.
Brilliant class that I will be using in my daily job. I appreciate the insight and guidance that was given during the class.
The content and labs were great. There are benefits with being able to work together as a team without the distractions of the office.
The course featured very thorough lectures, helpfully breaking them up between hands-on exercises. The narrator’s voice was engaging. I enjoyed the self-paced course, it allowed me to work on the material at my own rate.
Excellent! Paul (the instructor) was great. He answered every question in detail and was very patient with us!!
An awesome online course. Although I have many years’ experience working with Microsoft synchronization technologies, there was something new and unexpected at every turn, that made the journey all the more worthwhile.
There is so much more to Azure AD Connect that meets the eye or is covered in Microsoft documentation! This Masterclass effortlessly strips away Azure AD Connect’s veneer of simplicity to explore and demonstrate important technical details.
The Masterclass helped me to understand and avert the inevitable common pitfalls, and so will enable me – as a consultant – to ensure effective, efficient and secure implementations for the organizations I work with.
Excellent knowledge of the subject matter and a good teacher.
Excellent instructor. Very good in depth training on the product. The labs worked well.
Excellent.
Very informative course – a lot of material to cover in a short time but Paul (the instructor) was very knowledgeable and was able to explain complex items very clearly.
I really loved it, it was intense and very useful for my career. John is a very good teacher and I find material provided useful.
Great course. Hand-on labs and test environment worked all the time. John explained all the details very clearly.
Excellent detailed information over the week about every aspect of Azure. Covered everything that needs to be covered on Azure.
Excellent. John was readily able to provide input in relation to various customer scenarios that the course delegates had seen.
John is one of the best instructors I have ever known. The content of the course and presentation was spot on!
The course was very well structured. I liked the way that John refreshed concepts that would be used in later modules. Hands on labs were relevant and the pace was good.
Excellent. The course was well done as an all-inclusive class that could bring any person up to speed on how to function and manage Azure AD Connect with the necessary level of knowledge to support Azure AD Connect in an enterprise environment.
Excellent! Doing the Masterclass online meant I was able to work around my schedule and adjust my pace depending on the material. Sometimes in an on-prem class, I feel like labs go by too quickly to keep the class on-schedule. I really liked having video demos of the labs.
The course covers a lot of necessary detail on the product, and Paul (the tutor) definitely knows the product and delivers the course very well.
Once again, a fantastic course, well taught and very engaging!
I enjoyed the course. We covered a lot of information. Overall I would highly recommend the course as it really covers a lot of MIM skills.
The tutor, Axel, was very knowledgeable and always knew the answer to our questions. Furthermore, he adapted the course to our strengths and weaknesses so that we could discuss things which wouldn’t necessarily cover only the basics.
The training is great, lots to learn but extremely well explained. Very knowledgeable trainer and the VMs worked well.
I thought the course was excellent, made very interesting by the enthusiasm of the instructor and his examples. The labs provided a good challenge by helping me to feel more confident going back to support our MIM deployment.
I really enjoyed the venue – I am a golfer – and the provided lunch menu was lovely.
I liked the course, it gave the fundamentals of how MIM works. This is especially useful as the company I work for is using it. I liked studying self paced. Responses from my tutor to my questions were prompt and on point.
The course was exactly what I needed and exceeded my expectations. A five star course!
The course was excellent, well structured to introduce concepts at the beginning and then slowly pull them together to show the final outcome. Very detailed and John has a wealth of experience to add.
John’s Masterclass has been a uniquely interesting, absorbing and rewarding experience: top quality training materials and lots of interaction with John and fellow attendees. I’ve come away with all expectations exceeded and feeling confident that I will now be able to address a number of challenges in my company environment.
Paul was excellent as a tutor. He knows the product very well and delivers the training remarkably well.
I have really enjoyed the training. It was very interesting overall. The instructor was great, he really knows what he was talking about and has excellent product knowledge!
Excellent. The course was brilliant, it helped me to fill in the gaps in my knowledge for supporting and implementing MIM. I will definitely be booking my place on the MIM Advanced course!
The overall training experience was good. There was a slight issue with the connection on the last day, but this was sorted very quickly by the Oxford Computer Training support team.
It was a good training, and Paul did a good job teaching us how to use and configure MIM Sync correctly – so we won’t be the guys whose fault it is when things don’t work as the business has expected… it will be theirs! Paul is a good and friendly instructor, I would like to do the next course with him! Thank you and see you at the next one!
This was a well-rounded intermediate course (even without having taken the MIM Foundation course). I would strongly advise other online learning participants to watch the video lectures, as they offer more insight than what is in the manual.
I very much appreciated that the course is offered online, since I could complete it on my own time. The pace of the videos is appropriate to the material, and naturally you can re-read or re-watch any sections which required clarification.
The course is very detailed. The labs are good. And I liked the fact the there was a different VM for each stage of the course.
Excellent. 10 out of 10. Paul’s a legend, a great trainer.
Excellent.
It was really great to be able to interact with John and him to solve the problems we inadvertently created while doing the labs. He is extremely knowledgeable and able to handle all the questions thrown at him.
Great course with great detail and in depth coverage. Enjoyed how the course built upon itself from beginning to end. Well lead and very knowledgeable instruction from John Craddock.
Great instructor and course. John has a lot of knowledge and can articulate it well through out the whole course.
Having been in IT for 30+ years, it’s hard to find classes that complement my skill set. This class was a perfect match. Hands-on labs were great.
A very knowledgeable instructor who knew not only the material well but was able to answer all the questions asked. The build up of knowledge throughout the course and reviews helped really drive the information learned home.
Excellent. A comprehensive course in terms of authentication flows and protocols. John has ton of knowledge and experiences on Azure Directory services and authentication mechanisms.
You cannot afford to NOT take this course if you are in the identity space.
The course was stellar and exactly what I hoped it would be, a launchpad for remaking my organization’s identity and access management approach to be driven by Azure AD. The lab environment was extremely well designed and full featured. The mix of lecture to lab was just right.
The instructor was great. He was extremely knowledgeable on MIM itself, how it interacted with environments, and readily able to answer everything we threw at him. On top of this, he was able to use his own past experiences to ensure we implemented things in the best/most efficient way.
Having a private class was really excellent as I was only with people from my firm so all the questions we asked were beneficial to everyone vs. some being good and others being irrelevant, which happens a lot when doing large class trainings.
A very informative and useful course. It helped me to better understand my institution’s MIM implementation, which in turn has expanded my troubleshooting knowledge.Studying online in my own time gave me a chance to replay and review any parts of the course I didn’t quite understand first time, which was useful. I had more time to process the content in comparison to a classroom-based course, in which you’re limited.
Paul [the instructor] was excellent and the course was dedicated to our needs.
Brilliant from beginning to end. The videos were highly informative, I genuinely enjoyed learning from the tutor in these videos. The delivery, information and explanations provided throughout were excellent.
The high standard of tuition in the videos made the experience very enjoyable. Normally I would prefer to be taught in a classroom but on this occasion self-paced really worked. I was able to take more time and revisit areas I didn’t fully grasp first time around. The labs and VMs were also excellent, it was great being able to do the labs at my own pace.
This course is what I needed to better understand how Azure (AD) works and interacts with on-premise directories/applications. The enthusiasm and professionalism of our instructor Paul more made more than up some drawbacks due to local infrastructure restrictions (out of OCT’s control). Thanks Paul!
This course was very clarifying, I learned a lot. It gives more insight in provisioning and connectors to O365. The self-paced experience was good. The course materials were very clear and informational. Labs were very well organized.
This online, self-paced MIM course was well-presented and structured in a logical way. It was very easy to do modules one at a time working around a busy schedule!
The MIM Foundation online course was more dense and fact-filled that I could consume in three days. I actually took five days to complete the modules. I was able to complete the training without much, if any, assistance from my online instructor, Andi, but I appreciate that the resource provided.
This was an online self-paced course, and the material and course layout were well presented in way that met my learning goals and style. The experience was great – self-study/paced courses have always worked well for me, especially in situations where I already have some knowledge of the course and just need to focus on specific concepts.
Very interesting course. Very good and funny instructor. Nice approach to the topic.
Really intéressante training with a enthusiastic instructor and a strong level of knowledge. A real pleasure to have followed this training with this instructor.
A very interesting course. All our questions were answered. Learning privately as a team means we can ask questions regarding our own implementation of Azure. Excellent instructor.
It was great studying MIM online. It was definitely easy to squeeze a lesson in whenever I had the time.
Paul, the instructor, was great. He was extremely knowledgeable on MIM itself, how it interacted with environments, and readily able to answer everything we threw at him. On top of this, he was able to use his own past experiences to ensure we implemented things in the best/most efficient way.
I thought doing this as a private course was really excellent as I was only with people from my firm so all the questions we asked were beneficial to everyone.
Incredibly informative. My head is still spinning (that’s a good thing). This Masterclass is an absolute must if you are working with authenticating to and integrating with web services, including new standards which are emerging. Valuable tips for debugging and identifying configuration errors when integrating and deploying.
The course was an excellent deep dive on Identity – exactly what my team and I were expecting to leave with. We are much better armed to do in-depth identity troubleshooting for some of our big cloud and identity projects in 2019.
This was an excellent class lead by John and I will be sure to rotate the rest of my team through in future classes.
Excellent course. I enjoyed being able to go at my own pace and in my own time.
Good instructor who went through the course at a good speed.
The course was very informative. And because it was private training it was much more targeted.
Excellent. The course was engaging and detailed, providing a good operational understanding of the product. Because we learned privately, as a team, we had personalized, targeted training.
Fantastic! We did a ‘Sync Service only’ course which involved part of the MIM Foundation and part of the MIM Advanced, course. Best tutor for a course I’ve ever attended, it is clear Paul really knows his stuff!
It was a private course for our team, which meant we felt more comfortable asking questions, and it was nice to do it in a familiar environment.
I enjoyed the combination of labs and lessons. The labs did a good job of reinforcing the lesson content.
I studied online, and the ability to take the course a few hours a day made it easy to complete while still performing other duties.
I enjoyed the course and now I need to keep practicing what I’ve learned to get the information to stick. Hugh, my online tutor, was very responsive to my questions and provided lots of useful links when I needed help.
Studying online was useful to be able to fit the course round my other commitments. And I think it gave me more time to absorb the material.
It was great! Learning online worked out very well for me.
It opened my eyes to see that we perhaps have an unusual implementation of FIM here… I look forward to digging in deeper now that I have the necessary tools to understand what I’m looking at!
Paul is a great instructor. Very knowledgeable and funny! This is my second time taking a course via Skype with Oxford Computer Training. It worked great.
Paul [the instuctor] is really knowledgeable of the product and gave me a better understanding of the MIM portal and Sync MA. The labs were good.
This course was great. It covers a lot of the things that we had been hiring consultants for, this opens up a lot of possibilities for our organization.
The instructor was great. It’s obvious he knows this system inside and out. If we bring in a consultant he would be brilliant!
The documentation and labs were spot on. Best lab documentation I have ever used.
A great foundation course. Paul (the instructor) was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Paul (the instructor) was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the course.
This was my first time attending live training by Skype. The main benefit is working from home.
Paul (the instructor) did a fantastic job, and was deeply knowledgeable about the subject. One of the better trainings I’ve been to. The documentation and labs were top notch.
Paul, the instructor, is a great communicator.
Excellent. The course manual, the labs and the teacher’s knowledge of the topic were much better than the average Microsoft courses.
A great course. It was good to learn privately as a team because we have the same questions about our shared environment.
A great deep dive into Azure AD Connect.
Paul, the instructor, is funny and I had great class.
Very good deep dive into AAD Connect.
It was very informative and I learned a lot. The instructor was very clear and skilled.
The instructor, Hugh, was excellent – a man with good knowledge of the material.
Excellent! Paul [the instructor] did an incredible job getting everyone through the course. Since our company is new to MIM, he took the time to work with each of us on the critical aspects of what is possible with MIM. He understood that there were people in the room that didn’t fully understand what MIM was, even though they went through the basic course of materials. We had a big learning curve, but he was able to get us over those issues.
He is an amazing instructor with a depth of understanding in the materials, that made it a joy to be his student. My favorite quote from Paul: “With MIM the answer is always yes. But should you?”
Doing this as a private course allowed us to share our reasoning and our thoughts on architecture, innovation, procedures, policies, and best practices as they relate to our needs not just generalized concepts or assumptions.

The course is excellent. A finer instructor for the course material one cannot hope to find.
Taking this course privately as a team meant we could directly relate the course material to our environment.
Paul [the instructor] was great!
The course, although densely packed, was helpful to understand the scope and configurability of MIM 2016.
Taking the course privately as a team was the best way to learn since we all support the same system and can contribute to cross-team support and suggest new ways to use the system.
I’m always suspicious of “master” classes, however, I was pleasantly surprised at the material in this course. There was lot of information that isn’t commonly available, the labs worked well, 3 days is perfect, and the experience of learning over the internet was excellent.
Fantastic as always.
Paul is an amazing teacher and really takes the time to help you understand inherently complex technologies. This is the first time I have attended a class ‘remotely’ (via Skype). It’s a very nice and convenient way of learning.
Excellent instructor, would recommend to colleagues.
A real in-depth MIM course, as I didn’t see anywhere else. Paul is just a great trainer with a huge IDM knowledge.
The course was well composed and delivered. It helped me become more knowledgeable with Azure AD Connect. I appreciate all your efforts, and work, in keeping the material updated. Thanks for everything, Hugh!
Hugh was an excellent instructor who taught the material well, made it easy to learn, and assisted when we were going through the labs.
It was good to be in a small classroom, it made it more engaging.
Everything was spot-on.
The course was detailed and the instructor was good.
I found the training very informative and right to the point. The advantage of me attending this course via Skype was that I could carry on with labs and revision after the classroom session had ended.
Paul [the instructor] was very engaging and enthusiastic. He made MIM fun!
I found this course extremely helpful in understanding the inner workings of MIM.
It was great. Nice to be able to discuss and talk about company related stuff.
A very detailed course. The questions at the end of each module were a bit more difficult than I expected. Overall, it was a very good course.
Excellent. The MIM Advanced course gives insight into the internal logic of MIM – its components and processes – and full coverage of how it integrates in and delivers common IT processes.
Paul [the instructor] has been, as always, very knowledgeable in all areas related to IDM. His experience as well as delivery has tremendously helped in my understanding and in my next steps.
Instructor had excellent teaching skills and amazingly profound knowledge of the matter. And yes, he’s always right! The course was well balanced, and it was very good to learn with colleagues.
A very great course. Very useful to learn privately with colleagues. We can speak deeper about some specific cases.
Excellent! I have never had an instructor with the amount of knowledge that John has before. It was absolutely useful to learn with my colleagues privately.
A very good and educational course. I am very satisfied with the technical level and the course. Being a private course I could have good discussions with my colleagues.
I have had a great learning experience and the content feels really useful. It´s been 5 great days. It was useful to learn alongside my colleagues.
Attending the Identity Masterclass as a private course was excellent because you could discuss things with colleagues in breaks during the course.
If you work in the identity field and with Microsoft Azure this course is for you. John is a great instructor with lot of experience and knowledge. Excellent.
All expectations about the course were met. John is very skilled as a trainer. Top 5 of all the courses I’ve ever had.
The instructor Paul is the right one for MIM courses! His knowledge and his personality are amazing. Thanks Paul!
Doing a private course is recommended. When doing this with your own team and there are different knowledge levels between attendees, the instructor can flexible.
A very good overview of how MIM works. It was pretty easy to find time to do the course.
Paul [the instructor] made a very complex subject interesting and very entertaining. He has a wonderful teaching style and personality. Paul was able to use the terminology that is familiar for us to help connect what he was teaching to what we are doing.
Paul [the instructor] was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions. As it was a private course, it was more relaxed and discussions about the course material were more relevant to our network.
Excellent course that shines light into some of the more “mystical” parts of MIM.
This is a very complex product. The training was in depth, and some parts went a little deeper than others. I learned things that will be used in our environment.
Great! The course was well taught and demonstrated well in the labs and course book.
Excellent private course. I find it much easier to learn alongside colleagues in a familiar environment.
Very useful. It filled in gaps in my knowledge that I wasn’t aware that I had, and for greater depth around Azure AD and AAD Connect capabilities, and ADFS. Paul was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic as always.
At it was a private course we could share our joint knowledge and experiences.
The MIM 2016 Foundation course was well designed and covered a lot to get you started in the world of IDM/MIM.
Paul [the instructor] was thorough with his delivery explained concepts in depth where needed. I would 100% recommend this course and Paul for anyone looking to start in the world of MIM.
[Read more about private MIM2016 traning for your team here.]
The training was very thorough and detailed. I initially approached the training assuming it was probably going to be overkill learning key concepts and a UI, but I was pleasantly surprised!
That’s a lot of information in a short period of time. My head still hurts! Well organized and presented. The instructor was funny, entertaining, and full of knowledge of the subject.
A great overview and navigation of MIM.
The MIM Foundation course was very valuable to me. I came in with a limited knowledge of MIM, and left with a page full of tasks I am ready to implement in MIM in my organization! Paul is a superb instructor!
This is a great course and its contents are precisely what is needed to become a MIM expert.
Very happy. Never been in a class this way [via Skype] but it worked out well.
Very happy with the training.
Excellent instructor. All good.
The training was extremely helpful and will allow me to make decisions on our installation.
Simply awesome! Learned a lot of new things and Paul is simply the best instructor in the world.
The course was very informative and I really liked the labs as I learn better when doing it myself. Paul is a great teacher.
Excellent. A professionally-led course with expertise-driven content! The instructor was easy to talk to and had a welcoming attitude towards questions.
Hugh [my personal tutor] was very patient and clear in answering all my queries. He has helped me understand the concepts clearly.
A very well presented course. Well paced and excellent examples given in the lab modules.
Excellent. Wonderful learning experience – can’t wait for the advanced course!
The Azure AD Connect Masterclass goes into great detail about Azure AD Connect, and this information is not found anywhere in the Microsoft documentation that I have seen so far. Through the access that OCG has with Microsoft, the Masterclass goes to the bones of AAD Connect and gives you great insight into what’s going on underneath.
I have used this product for a while, but there are some things I do where I don’t really have a good understanding of what’s going on. But this class makes it clear.
The instructor, Hugh, is very good – he has great insight, and hands-on experience. The way he explains it you know he’s been in identity management for a long time. He has a great understanding of the product.
This course will help me in a lot of ways – the most important being what I should and should NOT do, disaster recovery and so on. The class goes in to great detail about what to avoid doing so that I don’t get trapped later on… an insight into the future.
[See what else Hailemichael has to say in this short movie.]
It was a great course and I liked both the depth and breadth of coverage through a mix of instructor-led sessions followed by hands-on labs. It really solidified my understanding of AADConnect, how customers use it and what are some of the common issues they run into.
The instructor, Hugh, did an excellent job through all 3 days of the Masterclass. He is very knowledgeable and what I liked was how he was doing the hands-on labs along with us and helping us patiently with the issues.
This course was awesome. I learnt a lot and I feel more confident now. I have already started using these skills at work and my supervisors are very happy. The course, lab, demo and the quiz are simply great.
The course pacing was brilliant, and covered PAM warts and all!
Excellent environment and friendly and clear teaching methods. Excellent delivery and communication. Very useful.
Good environment, friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable instructor who engaged well with the class.
The way the course material was presented meant that the notes weren’t really referred to [during the class] except for the labs – which is good as it wasn’t ‘death by PowerPoint’.
The course was very well presented, and the pacing was perfect, to give plenty of time to complete each exercise.
Fantastic! My only regret about this class is that I didn’t attend it sooner!
I was very impressed with the quick setup and guidance with the technical process for getting started. The course itself is very well organized and the presenter did a wonderful job explaining what was important, the differences between FIM/MIM (my organization is running FIM, but plan to upgrade to MIM, so this was very useful), and explaining that certain concepts which may or may not be important, were beyond the scope of the course.
I thought the lab setup was an excellent touch, though I must admit that in the interest of time, I ended up relying on the demos, since I found that they covered the same material as the labs. I still intend to go back and complete labs that I did not do, but I wanted to be sure to get through the training material within the time I had available.
Learning online self-paced worked really well for me as a busy mum of three kids, and my tutor was responsive and helpful.
Very happy. I enjoyed the online training as it fitted in around my job and home life very well.
A compelling and comprehensive deep-dive into the subject matter. The instructor, Hugh, commanded a very impressive handle of the subject manner, and was prompt with answering all questions.
I really enjoyed the Masterclass because of the depth of subject matter, the high quality of the instruction and the training materials. The instructor really knows his stuff! I was also very surprised by the depth that is available in Azure AD Connect that I wasn’t aware of before. The course will give me a great foundation of knowledge for the future.
[See what else Chris has to say in this short movie.]
A Very Good Course. I could have used this course while I was deploying a working environment.
I like the flexibility of attending the class live via Skype.
I’ve been a MIM administrator for several years, but only really work in the production environment so there’s not a lot of opportunity to really dig into it. This is the first formal training I’ve ever had and Paul [the instructor] connected a lot of dots for me and gave me quite a few “Aha!” moments.
I attended live via Skype. It was a very helpful and enjoyable class!
Very happy. I gained a much deeper knowledge of MIM. Paul [the instructor] is a very good technical trainer. He clarified all doubts which really helped us in our current environment.
Before the Azure AD Masterclass started I was wondering why it would take 3 days to talk about a small, free product … but it was amazing how many topics were in there! Really in-depth and technical.
I was most interested in the synchronization rules – that’s what I wanted to get out of it. Now I know what to do.
James and Hugh are perfect teachers – whatever question you asked, no question was too difficult for them.
[See what else Peter has to say in this short movie.]
I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It’s given me more confidence to make the changes I need, and made me braver with Azure AD Connect.
One of the highlights was to see the owners of the company (Hugh and James) delivering the training, and the knowledge that they have! They know the product inside-out and their knowledge and experience comes across in the session.
These 3 days of training have deepened my understanding and I’m ready to make the changes I need to make.
My expectations have been surpassed! I would definitely recommend this Masterclass.
[See what else Pennie has to say in this short movie.]
It was a great course that filled the gaps in Azure AD Connect knowledge and also highlighted areas that I wasn’t aware of.
[See what else Stuart has to say in this short movie.]
One of the best external trainings I have ever had. The course materials were very easy to understand and the instructor gave us pictorial representation of everything descriptive in each module which helped a lot to depict the concepts in our brain.
Paul was very helpful and a great knowledgeable person, and most interesting and witty person who kept the training sessions interactive and lively which helped to keep us glued through the hours.
A good overview from basic to in-depth of AAD Connect, authentication and synchronization rules. It covered a lot of areas – some good deep dive stuff in there. Very knowledgeable instructors. Highly recommended.
[See what else Ian has to say in this short movie.]
The course was very good, and lived up to its name of being a ‘masterclass’. It was very in-depth from start to finish. The instructors had superb knowledge and experience of this technology.
[See what else Gurdip has to say in this short movie.]
In the past I’ve used Azure AD Connect to do really basic installations for customers, but going on the Masterclass has shown me the possibilities of doing larger scale implementations. It’s shown me some really exciting concepts.
The course has been written by masters of identity management who have brought really in-depth knowledge to the course that is hard to find anywhere else. Andreas Kjellman’s knowledge is second to none when it comes to Azure AD Connect, and this shows in the content.
This Masterclass is for anyone in identity management who’s looking to deploy AAD Connect in a large organisation. Whether you’ve used MIM or Azure AD Connect in the past, the Masterclass is for you.
The course goes through the differences between MIM and Azure AD Connect, and gives you a lot of things to look out for when deploying it for the first time. There’s lots of information that will save you time.
The hands-on labs have been really good, and there were some real light bulb moments for me on the course. One of the biggest eye-openers was how you deploy your infrastructure. Before I went on the Masterclass, I had a concept in my mind of how we would do it, but that’s been turned on its head by this Azure AD Connect course!
The course did exactly what it said on the tin, and it changed how I viewed Azure AD Connect from being a simple install, to a product which has a lot more flexibility to meet customer needs.
I will recommend the Masterclass to all my colleagues. The knowledge the course writers bring from their previous roles is invaluable, and it’s information you won’t find anywhere else.
Thanks for this excellent training, as usual at OCG!
It was indeed a great training. I learned a lot of things that are beneficial for career growth.
Great to have this MIM Foundation training which will be really helpful to our current environment. I would like to thank you Paul [the instructor] who provided a wonderful training and answered all to our questions. I hope we get the same in our MIM Advanced training too.
Excellent. This course had enough time duration for discussions and had neat lab sessions. The instructor is knowledgeable and helpful.
Great course! As a company adopting MIM functionality, this course provided a great introduction and hands-on labs to aid in our technological transition. Great instructor who used a combination of technical knowledge, real-world application and relatable brevity to maintain class attention.
Paul [the instructor] excelled at presenting complex material in a logical well thought-out manner. He was engaging and entertaining. Through humor and example he made otherwise dry material a fun learning experience.
Very happy. The course went into way more detail than I had anticipated. The modules were logically built up making more and more sense. Doing the course online at my own pace worked perfectly for me.
I do prefer in person classes better but as far as a streaming live classroom goes this was a great option. The instructor was very knowledgeable about the product. The class provided a great deal of information, and the labs were easy to follow.
Paul is a great instructor and helped me to understand an incredibly vast and complex topic such as MIM in a fun and simple way.
This was an *epic* week. Can’t tell you how many years I’ve wanted to do something like this. Hands down the best course I’ve ever attended. If you work in the identity industry and you’re somewhat aligned to Microsoft Azure, do yourself a favour and get yourself on this course!
John delivers an *incredible* quantity of context and detail. The course is very well scoped – mostly covering identity standards, so the knowledge we take away from this is not only applicable to Microsoft platforms but any identity solution.
The course is very well structured, starting gently by introducing terms and high level processes then nicely ramping up the level of detail and troubleshooting labs – all the while referring back to the overall picture to keep things grounded.
I leave this course feeling very well equipped to deal with the challenges I’m facing, have a quality dialog with technical partners in this space, and stay with the industry as the platforms we all consume continue to develop at pace.
[See what else Gavin has to say in this short movie.]
First of all, I would say “Excellent!” I have dreamed about taking a lesson from you, John, and you have provided an excellent lesson as I expected.
Lessons and labs are better than I have ever experienced before. Protocol in detail is remarkable. How each protocol works is useful for troubleshooting.
I’ve seen John at different conferences and I always wanted to join his Identity Masterclass. Now I’m here, and I’m very happy. John Craddock is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He’s great at explaining difficult things – it was worth coming here. For me the best thing is to learn how to troubleshoot federation stuff; to see how the communication works between the parts, the browser and the application.
Doing this course will definitely help in my work, because I am involved in such projects and when something goes wrong, now I know how I can help and what to look for, and that’s great.
John is great, and also the team I met here – nice guys, all on the same level, and we have exchanged experiences. So I’ve learned not only from John but from my colleagues here, and that’s great. A great experience to be here.
[See what else Henry has to say in this short movie.]
This was a wonderful course, one of the most interesting and definitely with the best teacher I ever had. He has a deep and very accurate knowledge, a lot of real-world information and experience, and very nice teaching skills.
All subjects were interesting and well covered. The people attending this course were also very interesting and skilled, and shared a lot of their own experiences and recommendations, which was also very good.
This is a highly recommended course.
Wow! Probably the best course I’ve ever been on. John knows his stuff! I’ve learned more about authentication in the last week than everything I learned in the last 10 years. John is incredibly knowledgeable and shares his knowledge readily.
Amazing. Great course!
The only thing better than being in a top class training session with a fantastic coach is being in that session with top class attendees. The Identity Masterclass is very detailed and at a very high technical level. The knowledge of everyone – John Craddock especially – is also at a very high level. #mindblown
The course is very much a deep-dive into Identity and Authentication. The course material is very detailed and covered every question I had. Basically this course has been translating what I’ve been doing over the past year or so by myself and enlightening me on many of those subjects. Most of what we have been looking at here are things my organization is looking to implement in the short term – as in next week – or over the next year. So almost everything I’ve learned will absolutely be useful.
John is charismatic and has a great ability to explain and understand anything presented to him.
Best hands-on labs I’ve done. You can tell it takes a long time to maintain them since the documentation never diverges from the labs.
If you’ve been thinking about doing the Masterclass I’d say definitely go!
[See what else Richard has to say in this short movie.]
It helped me to understand some complex topics which are generally not well understood by IT pros, and are considered more of a development area.
The experience I gained will 100% help me in my day-to-day job and also benefit my business overall.
Great experience, lots of useful information. Very well designed hands-on exercises and lab environment.
This was a great course, and it completely met my expectations. It filled the gaps in my knowledge.
John is a fantastic instructor – he is so passionate about the subject – which makes it so much easier to pass knowledge on to students.
The course was perfectly targeted at the audience and gave the right amount of information that was needed.
Very well structured and full of technical deep dives. Highly recommended to System Admins and Network Admins to understand the authentication flows.
[See what else Farhan has to say in this short movie.]
Awesome!
I greatly enjoyed the course experience. Paul, the tutor, has a great personality and is easy to get along with. He helped talk us through how MIM could be used in our current system and how it could be built in the future to maximize productivity and automation. I enjoyed the real world examples and use cases.
This is an amazing course that is truly designed to move an enterprise forward in the Identity and Access Management space. Paul is a phenomenal instructor and always went the extra mile, in teaching our group the best practices for MIM, including completely understanding the contexts and techniques in to best leverage this technology.
Excellent course! Instructor was very knowledgeable on the topic and added real-world examples to emphasize the class examples. I learned a tremendous amount of useful information. Paul [the instructor] is fantastic! I hope we will be able to get more of his knowledge in the Expert course!
This was a very useful course and I definitely learnt a lot. I especially enjoyed learning the differences between MIM and AAD Connect (such as the rules editor and the differences in provisioning logic). I think the course content was pretty spot-on and addressed everything I expected to learn, especially around the rules editor. Thanks!
I studied online at my own pace and that worked out fine for me. I could schedule some learning in the weekends or evenings if I was too busy at work to do so. The courses were clear and there was a lot of things to learn by yourself in the labs.
When I had few questions about credentials for the lab, the answers always came back very fast.
It was fantastic. Thank you!
I had very limited experience with AAD Connect prior to attending the course, however after working through the modules and having the brilliant instructors to hand for any questions, I am now very confident that I can support our customer Azure AD Connect solutions day-to-day.
The knowledge of the instructor was very strong and provided good examples of real-world applications of the tool. Very detailed.
Excellent. Previously, I did the MIM Foundation as a self-study course, and this course was much more fun and exciting and helpful. The range of topics covered was extremely broad. Great stuff!
Fabulous course, very helpful. The instructor was fabulous.
The training venue (at Studley Woods Golf Course) was wonderful. I and another student stayed at Magnolia Park as recommended, which was also wonderful.
Very informative class – lots of good stuff. I’ve been working with Microsoft Identity Manager for about 10 years, and on the first day I wasn’t sure what I’d pick up but it’s been an eye-opening experience!
(The instructor) Paul is great. He takes a very dry technical subject and keeps it lively and keeps us all engaged. He’s very detailed in answering our questions.
This course is going to be a big help in my work.
I’ve been troubleshooting and managing FIM, MIM, MIS from an operations standpoint – users having problems syncing from one environment to another- and my job was to figure out why. Now I’m going to be able to help some of our senior engineers when it comes time for deployment and configurtions because now I know what’s happening underneath the covers.
The class was awesome – I can’t wait to take the next course. It filled in a lot of gaps for me – and for my colleagues who are anxiously waiting for my return so we can start making some changes in the environment. It’s awesome – very informative.
Paul is great – very knowledgeable and he’s funny. Identity in general is very boring thing, but he made it very very exciting. The class was awesome.
Me doing this course will help the business – we’ll be able to tie more systems into a single identity platform and make everyone’s life easier because we’ll have fewer passwords and usernames for systems. It’ll help with reporting an security, and the fact we’ll have a central identity will make the business run a lot more efficiently.
I can’t wait to do the MIM Advanced class and the Expert class!
Great! Best lab materials I have ever worked with.
Covered all of the bases and helped lay solid groundwork for implementing and supporting MIM.
I am very pleased with what I’ve learned, the way the course was put together – doing a lot of slides, and the hands-on labs work was very beneficial.
I mentioned to my wife last night that some people were doing the course remotely by Skype. But definitely for me being in person in the classroom, kept me accountable and didn’t let my attention drift. It was definitely worth flying here to do it.
Paul’s great! I’ve enjoyed his British accent! He was very knowledgeable and very helpful when we ran into any issues.
We currently only have one person that does MIM right now, so having done this course, I’ll be able to assist him with his work and give us, as a company, some more opportunities with other customers. There’s a lot of MIM work in the pipeline so I can be an asset to our company.
Paul’s training was as good as ever and the course met all of my expectations.
Excellent. I enjoyed the course. It reinforced some identity knowledge I already had. The rest of my team would benefit from this course too.
The overall experience was wonderful. OCG took care of everything which allows students to focus on learning. John does a great job answering questions from the room, and is happy to discuss topics in depth.
The class is taught assuming you have a base knowledge of Active Directory and other identity solutions, this is great, since there is no time wasted teaching the basics. Having a full personal virtual environment ready for us to set up through the course of the class (and after) is extremely useful. The labs do a good job of explaining a configuration or concept in depth once and then trusting a student to remember how to do this later; this helps re-enforce concepts.
With my busy work schedule it was great to take this course at my own pace, and allowed me to go back to review sections that I had difficulty grasping all of the concepts. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn how to administer the MIM platform.
This course was definitely a five star course. Paul was a brilliant instructor and very engaging. I was impressed with his level of knowledge and industry experience.
A very good learning experience with lots of very good content. Paul [the instructor] clearly demonstrated his enormous expertise in identity management.
The course highlighted very well the strengths and weaknesses of Microsoft’s PAM solution.
Paul has been a great instructor, and he provided excellent explanations of areas where we needed clarification. Everything we learned will definitely help us with our production MIM implementation.
Great instructor, knows his stuff and is willing to explain until the student understands. Very helpful.
The course is laid out great, and John is a great instructor. I really like his teaching style and the way we built up the material from protocols all the way to implementing Azure solutions.
John was great in the way he taught the class, and his knowledge is excellent. The labs were so helpful to understanding the course material. Any other class I take in the future, I will hope to have John as the instructor.
The material covered is exactly what I needed to learn to be effective in my work. John really drives home the concepts and encourages active learning methods through hands-on exercises. His method of teaching and infinite patience make the learning experience worth the struggle that comes with absorbing new technology. Very happy to have been a part of this course. Hats off to OCG and John for brilliant execution.
The class is an extremely technical hands-on deep-dive into the internals of the Azure AD. (Is there a level 500?) Seriously… this is a great training class. Thank you so much for putting it together.
John’s knowledge is exceptional. Time well spent, and for people contemplating taking this course, highly recommended!
This course is a MUST for every person working with AD, ADFS, Azure and considering all SAML stuff. Thanks John!
This is an excellent course whether you are at entry level or advanced level. John takes his time to present logic and explanation from the basic then build the knowledge. He is very patient when it comes to troubleshooting. The class atmosphere is quite friendly due to John’s humor, and it helps build the class relationship.
Thank you very much, John, for such a delightful week during which I have learned a great deal of under-the-hood logic.
I would say John is probably the best trainer I have had in the past 16 years!
So nice to be able to revisit modules at my leisure without a classroom of people being held back.
Very happy. Studying online at my own pace really worked for me as I was able to do other tasks as well.
A very good experience!
The course materials are well thought out and provide just the right amount of guidance. The training ‘virtual environment’ was error free and easy to manipulate and, unlike most advanced courses did not require intervention from the instructor. The various network connections for both the course and user access, were stable and trouble free.
Paul the instructor just makes it look too easy! His knowledge of the subject matter and the products was second to none! He was willing to go the extra mile to find out answers he did not know right away, he even took the time to consult with other professionals at Oxford on a few questions. That was very impressive and added to the sense that Paul genuinely wanted us all to succeed.
Perhaps the highest praise I can offer is that Paul gave me the desire to continue my growth as a professional, with a newfound curiosity and passion, in the identity management space. Very thankful and highly recommended.
Excellent, very useful. I enjoyed the course and the material it covered. It filled in some knowledge gaps I had since we had installed FIM/MIM in our organization. With what I have learned I will be able to improve on our setup and expand what it can do.
More energy and engagement from the trainer than I have experienced on any other course. The subject matter was presented in a generally understandable way at the right level for the target audience.
The course experience was fascinating and the comments, labs and instructor really helped me to gather all the pieces together and get a very good picture of how things work. The guidance and the answers to my questions were 100% satisfied.
Excellent fast-paced course that covers just about every possibility of Microsoft authentication and authorization protocols. John is an excellent instructor with deep understanding of the material he is presenting. He interacts with the class in a professional, open manner that greatly facilitates learning in such a fast-paced course.
John, thank you for the class. I will certainly recommend this to folks in our company.
I thought it was a good course that required you to think and not just follow the steps in the book. John did a really good job of explaining the material and was quick to help when I hit a spot that caused me confusion. Labs were very helpful to understand the course material.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course, and feel I have so much to take back to what we do with Azure AD. I liked spending time on protocols and looking at it from an app dev perspective because it helps us ensure the applications implement the protocols the right way.
John is so knowledgeable, patient and extremely engaging. I am so glad I was able to attend this class.
Great course, anybody interested in doing IAM with Azure should do this class without a doubt.
The integration of tools and troubleshooting into the course really helps. The reasoning and mechanics did not take a back seat to the lab (how to) portions. The course touched on a lot of elements of Azure that are extremely relevant to my work in Azure, and had deep dives that really helps in discussions. Well put together, requires you to think more than other lab manuals.
Overall, the class had a lot of info and helped me connect the dots for concepts and terminology I had only a surface level understanding previously.
John was a great instructor, kept a good pace and could quickly answer any questions that came up. I would be interested in attending his courses in the future.
The labs were solid, but in the interest of time, some of the more repetitive aspects might be able to be trimmed back a bit in order to expand the breadth of focus (although, it’s arguable that the repetitive tasks might help with retaining the info more effectively).
The overall experience was wonderful. OCG took care of everything which allows students to focus on learning. John does a great job answering questions from the room, and is happy to discuss topics in depth.
The class is taught assuming you have a base knowledge of Active Directory and other identity solutions, this is great, since there is no time wasted teaching the basics. Having a full personal virtual environment ready for us to set up through the course of the class (and after) is extremely useful. The labs do a good job of explaining a configuration or concept in depth once and then trusting a student to remember how to do this later; this helps re-enforce concepts.
John is incredibly knowledgeable and joyfully answers questions throughout the course. The content was very well organized and well presented. Its structure was well suited to the learning of the concepts, which necessitate revisiting some topics multiple times, building understanding each time.
John does an excellent job. He’s not afraid to point out any “gotchas” within technologies he covers, and again, he is very willing to engage with the attendees, answering questions that may or may not deviate a bit from the intended content. He was very generous with additional supplementary resources, and tool recommendations. And was sure to clarify any examples that were included for “demonstration” purposes only, making sure one of us didn’t naively use insecure or incomplete solutions.
The hands-on labs were excellent! The environment was prepared very nicely. John clearly went to great lengths to preserve tasks that were instrumental to learning, and limiting tedious provisioning. Very thoughtful! Bonus – the HTML5 resources were great!
Very happy with the course. Training materials are clear and well articulated and support I had from the training team (Moth, Andi, et al) was fabulous. They answered every question, query and request I had and very swiftly at that. Thanks!
Excellent course. The tutor was very friendly and helpful. I benefited from his wealth of knowledge.
Excellent course that greatly helped me fill in the gaps of my knowledge on MIM. I’ve been self-taught on many concepts, but Paul [the tutor] gave me the skills I need to manage the MIM implementation my company uses and that I inherited.
Fantastic overview of MIM concepts that required only minimal amount of coding and script to achieve creative solutions. Tutor was excellent.
The course provided a thorough introduction to MIM fundamentals. Now, I feel empowered to train my peers on how to perform operational work in the MIM environment so that I can reclaim my time to address additional identity-related challenges.
The course materials and lab environment worked well together to properly train me in the essentials of MIM operation. It is unlikely that we will implement the portal features of MIM at this time, but the training will greatly aid in the event we choose to do so, particularly if we pursue the PAM aspect of MIM.
Paul, the instructor, was efficient and thorough in providing the training. He did an excellent job keeping the class engaged despite the MIM material being somewhat “dry”!
The MIM training was excellent – very useful, interesting and enjoyable. The trainer was friendly, approachable, very helpful whenever I was unsure and put me at my ease.
Having just inherited FIM/MIM after a co-worker left the organization, this excellent course helped me feel more comfortable about supporting this application.
It was great. Best instructor I have had for a long while. The knowledge I gained will be very useful for implementing our identity management system.
The course was well structured, with the labs providing excellent practical experience to supplement the theory. The course material was exceptionally good, providing a great learning experience & a brilliant reference for my future work in the identity management arena. Course support was outstanding. I would definitely recommend this course to my colleagues.
Very informative. Excellent instructor. This course does what is says on the tin – a solid foundation of the principles of MIM.
The instructor, Paul, was great. Very informative. Our morning ‘Brain Storms’ were good. Well structured labs with loads of information. Sometimes too much at one go to retain, but the lab work helped in retaining this knowledge. Best way of learning.
The lessons were well explained and easy to understand. I did enjoy the labs and the lab manual was very good at explaining not just how but why the labs were done a certain way.
I have taken many courses online over the years and this has been one of the better ones. I really appreciate how quickly your customer support contacted me when I had an issue getting registered for the class.
The VMs worked great and were configured so that I could get right to the task at hand. Well done.
Being able to study at my own pace helped me take the MIM Foundation course in manageable chunks. The explanations and diagrams in the materials booklet helped me visualize the complex mechanics of MIM and what was going on. The instructor was clear and precise. The labs were helpful too in that I could experiment with various configurations.
A great course for those who haven’t looked at MIM before. You get a great overview at your own pace.
The Masterclass easily met all my expectations. John’s very good – I’ve come into contact with him before with his courses and books.
The course covers pretty much exactly what we need – it’s hitting the sweet spot. There’s three of us from the same organization here, but we’re not all doing the same role. One is a developer and it’s all new to him – he needs to know this stuff as we’re looking to move to Azure-based apps so the course content is all relevant. And another is our directory and FIM person, so it’s extremely relevant. Very useful!
Paul has been able to teach a very complicated product and explain things clearly and in a fun way. Great job!
This course is excellent. I learned a lot because the instructor is very professional and has great knowledge of MIM. He provided a very joyful and exciting class which was my first experience in MIM. I did enjoy this class and would recommend it to both non and experienced MIM administrators.
It was great to learn from an expert, and to play with implementing and troubleshooting hands-on. It has equipped us with the knowledge to design and implement our own system, and ensure that we can support it in the future.
The hands-on labs were excellent, and even included issues and errors for us to troubleshoot so that it wasn’t just a ‘click by numbers’ exercise.
Everyone on the course was well prepared for the material. John started at a fairly deep level and all the students were up for it. Having the virtual machines and cloud instances available for a time after the class will be helpful to review and retest the things we learned. John brought extensive experience with him and he freely shared that vast knowledge with all of us!
Absolutely brilliant course! Learning the subject from John Craddock himself was a very enriching experience. I gained valuable knowledge of Azure AD and related technologies. The best way to learn.
John is a mountain of knowledge when it comes to Azure AD, Authentication, MFA, SSO, etc. He has a very pleasing personality and is a very helpful teacher.
Excellent and very meaningful labs, working lab environment, brilliant instructor, and great course materials. HUGE PLUS for the ability to use the lab files later on in your own environment for further tests/labs and learning. This really sets this course apart from many other ones.
I’m very happy! John was excellent. My knowledge on several subjects in the course was sometimes limited. John explains tremendously and answers every possible question. The hands-on labs were very well prepared and so easy to practice effectively. They were of real added value.
Excellent! It would be hard to find someone more prepared than John Craddock.
Incredible instructor! There are assumptions that one already has some experience with managing Windows Server components, but as a person who has does not have a lot of experience with Windows Server, I managed to navigate my way through the hands-on exercises without any problems.
The training was very thorough and covered many scenarios that a FIM/MIM implementation would address. The tutors were knowledgeable and responded quickly. Studying at my own pace proved useful in the fact that I could spend more time on unfamiliar, difficult, or important subjects.
Working online at my own pace works for me. I’m able to stop, pause, rewind, etc. It allows me the flexibility to work in my off hours, and not take time away from the office to come in person for the course.
Excellent. A good introduction about PAM capabilities and components.
A great course, very helpful and knowledgeable instructor.
I attended the training remotely in a live online environment. The course met my expectations. I enjoyed the fact that each lab was built on the previous lab, with the option of loading a snapshotted VM if you were behind or missed a configuration. The instructor was always available to answer questions.
A very positive experience… good head start. Paul, the instructor, had a firm grasp of the MIM application and was able to keep all students engaged over Skype.
I can recommend this course for people who are concerned with MIM, because you get important tips and a good understanding of the processes. This you cannot get if you try to learn yourself.
The instructor was excellent. He has very good knowledge about MIM and can convey this well. The course was very good, but the whole information was so much to take in four days.
It was very informative and interesting, and being able to study at my own pace is an incredibly effective tool for my learning style.
I thought this course and instructor did a great job of presenting challenging material in an effective way. I learned a lot!
Excellent! A lot of information, and very useful. The labs are great and the course material is easy to understand. The instructor was awesome!
I enjoyed working at my own pace and being able to go over certain sections again that I didn’t understand initially. I liked the convenience of not having to travel for this training and the flexibility of being able to study either in the office or at home. My only difficulty was completing the training alongside my busy day job and trying to make time for it.
Great complete overview. The instructor was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
I found this course to be a nice overview of PAM, what it is and how it works. Very helpful.
Although there was a lot of information, Paul [the instructor] was able to get us through the material very effectively.
Excellent. Very happy with the training. Course work was well managed and easy to follow. The course took place in a conference room at a golf club instead of an office. This was a good idea and made a pleasant atmosphere.
This was the first time I’d followed a self-paced online training course and I must say I was very pleased with the quality of the material. The course is well-structured and it was easy to plan the training in different sessions and days to fit my agenda.
I started by working my way through the written manual and lab course material. After a couple of modules I decided to check out the videos, and I am very happy I did. The rest of the course I watched all the videoed lessons. I also starting watching the lab videos which gave a much richer explanation of the labs compared to the written lab instructions. The voice of the tutor was reassuring, and I liked how he explained things. I liked how the course built up with the various modules, to understand the key elements of the product.
This course has given me a great foundation to get started with MIM and I am now well prepared to learn a lot more about the product in the future.
Just as with both the MIM Foundation and MIM Advanced courses, this was great – by far one of the best courses I have ever attended! I’ve learned so much about the possibilities in MIM, and I am looking forward to putting my new knowledge into practice in our MIM projects. The course materials, the instructor’s presentations and the labs are of great quality, I really enjoyed it.
The instructor can be summed up in one word: brilliant! Paul is such a nice guy with so much knowledge and experience. His teaching and presentation skills are great! He’s so helpful and he really wants us to learn. He is really humorous as well!
The course was specific to our company needs. Perfect. Helpful tutor.
The course is essential for MIM developers. It covers areas that should be taught in Microsoft’s courses, which I have taken, but are left out.
This was, by FAR, the best training I’ve received in years! I loved how ‘lab heavy’ the course was. I learned so much from working through the labs.
The instructor’s training style was perfect. He didn’t just read from decks, he whiteboarded. He took the time to answer all questions in detail, demonstrating a staggering understanding of the subject matter. He stayed late each and every night working with people that wanted to linger and finish up labs. He was, in short, remarkable. I cannot say enough kind things.
Fantastic course – from how the initial concepts are described, to pulling them all together in the modules and backed up by good labs. Tutor was knowledgeable, entertaining and always good.
Just as with the MIM Foundation course, this MIM Advanced course was great – I had a really fun time taking this course! Even though the course content was more demanding, it still worked great to study online at my own pace. The course materials were really good. Good structure and great quality content! I am really looking forward to the MIM Expert course!
I connected to the live class remotely, over the internet. The course pace was sometimes fast but considering the amount of material to cover over 4 days it was necessary to complete everything. Thanks for your enthusiasm!
Worth flying in from the US for! I got a great understanding of what PAM is and what it will do to keep our company safe.
The classroom course was good, just a small group of colleagues and a professional teacher. Good theory with good labs. It was very nice to have Paul as a teacher. He’s a real professional but also very good at making me laugh, it’s a pleasure listening to him talking. Sometimes a little too much text because this is not my native language!
The training materials were professional and clear. When you are able to take an online course and not think about the mechanics of the delivery until after the course, when you’re asked for an evaluation – that’s a good indicator of quality.
Wow – lots of detail in the advanced course. Thanks, Hugh, for patiently responding to my questions. I appreciated the quick turnaround and thoughtful responses! Overall, these courses were good and I am glad I was able to take them.
It’s almost not possible to use MIM without this course. The 4 days are very intensive but worth it. MIM is very complex. The teacher is able to tell a lot complex stuff in a pleasant way. A good story teller!
The most relevant course I have attended in ages! The tutor really knew his stuff, didn’t just learn the script. Answered every question! Very good foundation for a tricky subject.
It was really easy to use the labs, exercises and pdfs remotely. The connection worked well, very doable with a remote connection. I don’t feel like I missed anything by not being able to attend in person. The instructor was a really clear speaker, very strong on MIM, good at teaching and supporting.
Brilliant course format. It worked out great. I am doing the course at the same time as a co-worker, and this allows us to help each other when there is something we do not understand and discuss how things relates to our environment. Your staff in general are very attentive. I am impressed by your quick response times on all types of requests. I requested lab access late at night on a Sunday, to have it ready the next morning, but to my astonishment, it was ready an hour later. Way to go!
With a significant PAM project coming up it was critical that I skilled up in this space and OCG has provided me with all the knowledge I need to manage that and also some great ideas for how I might tailor PAM for my particular environment.
Paul (the tutor) was very knowledgeable and spoke in an engaging way throughout the course. It was a lot of information to convey and he presented it at a good pace. The remote training environment worked well.
Very hands-on, easy to follow. Doing the course at my own pace was a double-edged sword, since I procrastinated a lot, but it allowed me to work over a lot of days, which was nice. The videos were separated into manageable portions (not too long).
I was a bit skeptical about the online format, as was my superiors, but in retrospect it worked out great. It was good to pause the video to take notes, ponder and look at my production. The training videos and courseware are exquisite pieces of work, in themselves worth the price of admission. The environment vastly enriches the experience, without resulting in me zoning out and missing an important section of the course. It also leaves ample room for reflection, and I guess I cannot blame the course for me playing with labs till very late at night! I am doing the advanced course next, and I will definitely schedule more time for that run.
Fantastic! The environment with a small number of trainees was the best experience for the hands-on approach to labs, and an opportunity to ask many questions about real-world implementations and challenges. The instructor was very friendly, informative and approachable to discuss particular issues in your particular live environment. Very informative and very approachable in your learning and the potential implementation challenges you may have.
Having attended all three FIM courses with OCG I am more confident on the product in its entirety. The trainers are much experienced in all aspects, and posses extraordinary skills on the product in the real world.
Initially, I was hesitant about doing the course remotely, but I would have no concerns now. I was in Pacific time, other students were in EST zone and the instructor was in the UK, and everything worked great!
Great training with great instructors. Learned a lot! Thanks!
The course experience was superb. I had already taken the Foundation course and this [Advanced] course provided … enough enhancement on how MIM works that I am very confident that I can more effectively advance our enterprise-wide identity and access management system.
I appreciate being able to participate remotely. [live instructor-led but online in real time] This is the second course I have participated in remotely and highly recommend it. It was just like being in the classroom!
Paul is a natural teacher. He is articulate and knowledgeable. I especially liked how he seemed to intuitively anticipate what questions may arise. Time and time again he would clear up both verbalized and non-verbalized questions I had. I also found him very approachable, attentive to detail, responsive to questions and humorous as well. I would rate him as one of the best instructors I have ever learned from.
Paul was the best instructor I have ever had. This is not an exaggeration! I wish I could retake all the training I have gone through in life with him as the instructor.
Paul is the greatest teacher I ever met! Our IDM infrastructure works even better since I took the MIM courses.
Thank you for an excellent course! Paul, the trainer, is very experienced. What I learned will be of great value to me for IAM planning, architecture and operations in the financial services organisation I work for.
Thank you very much for that outstanding course! Deep technical subjects and real world examples and recommendations. Instructor has strong teaching and presentation skills, he’s very friendly and helpful.
The training course covered a lot of material that was very helpful to better understand the product and be able to present it to Senior Management and describe the functionality. The labs made it very easy to follow and understand exactly what they were doing and how FIM works. The instructor was very knowledgeable and made the whole class fun and interesting with real world examples from his consulting work and humor. Overall the best training class I have ever had!
I learned relevant new skills and the ‘hands on’ makes the recall better when I implement this in the future – the solving of unexpected problems has to be hands on to work. This course is highest industry level for learning with valuable hands on lab.
I am a medium experienced FIM person. This course gave me a lot of technical depth, it gave me a lot of answers to why particular things are done in a particular way. It also helped me better understand the classic rules that I had inherited from a Microsoft Consultant and knew how to modify, but this gave me a whole new perspective. All the people on the OCG Learning team were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you!
The tutor is a nice person to listen to. He has enough knowledge to keep you interested and a clear way of explaining. I attended the class by Skype – it was just like being in the classroom!
OCG’s courses are excellent at explaining how to implement and maintain the product. That their knowledge is clearly based on real world experience will prove to be very useful to me in my work.
We were very impressed with the depth of experience and knowledge the instructor had. He actually had more experience than the consultants we engaged to actually run our project! Since our instructor had a decade long background as an IAM consultant, he was able to answer our deep technical questions and talk at length about the product architecture as it related to our environment.
Let’s just say: we got more than our money’s worth!
We decided to opt for the private on-site course because not only was it cheaper, it allowed us to take the time and ask environment specific questions about MIM and our unique installation. This was invaluable to our learning experience.
The course materials were well written, logical and helpful. We are still referring to them. This training helped prepare us for our long and complex MIM project, we could NOT have succeeded without it! If any company is considering MIM, you do not want to proceed without world class training… this is what makes or breaks IAM departments.

Very good structure, starting with overview and expanding topics. Language (balance of formal and informal) was better than any other course I have been on and very understandable. From previous experience of OCG, I had high expectations, which were fully met.
