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.
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!
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 🙂
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.
Excellent. A five star course. Thank you very much John!
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!
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. 🙂
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!
Well designed and interesting hands-on labs. The course is also well-structure. Learned a lot from this Masterclass.
John is a fantastically knowledgeable instructor and this course was amazingly useful.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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 🙂
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.
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!
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. 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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🙂
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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!
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!
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.
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.
John is a great instructor and knows exactly how to deliver the training and is brilliant at diving in to fix issues also.
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.
Very Good Class!!
Enjoyed the class, I found it very beneficial.
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent class. John covered everything I wanted to know, and did a great job of explaining all the details and nuances.
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.
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.
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.
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! Had a great time learning all this. Thank you.
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 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.
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.
Great instructor and course. John has a lot of knowledge and can articulate it well through out the whole course.
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.
Excellent.
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.
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.
The course was exactly what I needed and exceeded my expectations. A five star course!
John is one of the best instructors I have ever known. The content of the course and presentation was spot on!
Excellent. John was readily able to provide input in relation to various customer scenarios that the course delegates had seen.
Great course. Hand-on labs and test environment worked all the time. John explained all the details very clearly.
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.
Excellent detailed information over the week about every aspect of Azure. Covered everything that needs to be covered on Azure.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You cannot afford to NOT take this course if you are in the identity space.
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.
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.
Fantastic! My only regret about this class is that I didn’t attend it sooner!
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.
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.]
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.
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.
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.]
All expectations about the course were met. John is very skilled as a trainer. Top 5 of all the courses I’ve ever had.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Attending the Identity Masterclass as a private course was excellent because you could discuss things with colleagues in breaks during the 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.]
Amazing. Great course!
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.
Great experience, lots of useful information. Very well designed hands-on exercises and lab environment.
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 instructor, knows his stuff and is willing to explain until the student understands. Very helpful.
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.]
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.
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.
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.
John’s knowledge is exceptional. Time well spent, and for people contemplating taking this course, highly recommended!
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.
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.
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!
This course is a MUST for every person working with AD, ADFS, Azure and considering all SAML stuff. Thanks John!
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.
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.
John, thank you for the class. I will certainly recommend this to folks in our company.
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 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.
Great course, anybody interested in doing IAM with Azure should do this class without a doubt.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent! It would be hard to find someone more prepared than John Craddock.
I wanted to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding instruction provided by Paul Captainino during the MIM Foundation course. His expertise and passion for the subject were evident in every session, making the complex material both accessible and engaging.
Paul’s ability to break down intricate concepts into understandable segments, coupled with his patience and willingness to address all my questions truly set him apart as an exceptional instructor. The practical examples and real-world applications he shared greatly enhanced my learning experience and equipped me with valuable skills I can apply in my role.
Thank you again for your dedication and for creating such a positive and enriching learning environment. Your efforts have made a significant impact, and I am grateful for the knowledge and insights gained from your course.
The course was great. It covered everything I needed to know and the instructor made the material easy to understand and interesting. He was always approachable and encouraged questions which made learning enjoyable.
The sessions were incredibly insightful and well-organized, and I have gained lots of insights into Entra Connect and how it ties into the hybrid experience. The practical labs and interactive discussions were particularly beneficial, allowing us to apply the concepts in real time and address any challenges we encountered. Paul was an amazing teacher, he knows so much about everything!
Paul was very informative. The modules were easy to follow.
The instructor was excellent and the course was very detailed
The Entra Connect Masterclass exceeded my expectations through Paul’s engaging teaching style and deep technical expertise. He has a unique talent for breaking down complex synchronization concepts with fun diagrams that really stick in your mind. Paul’s ability to provide nuanced context around why certain features work the way they do, drawing from his wealth of experience, was impressive. This masterclass struck an ideal balance between theory and hands-on practice, with Paul readily diving into detailed explanations of technical, and sometimes “simple” questions that came up along the way.
The Teams experience was seamless and effective for this technical course. The screen sharing was clear, making it easy to follow Paul’s demonstrations and diagrams. While remote learning can sometimes feel disconnected, Paul’s interactive teaching style and the well-structured hands-on labs kept me engaged throughout. Being able to print hard copies will also be of value down the line.
Learning Entra Connect as a team over Teams created valuable opportunities for collaborative problem-solving. When colleagues raised questions about our specific environment scenarios, Paul provided tailored guidance that benefited the whole group (I personally caught things I missed even when successfully having completed steps). The tea/lunch breaks were well structured and helped pace the call.
The course was well structured and It would have taken me quite a while to get to this level of mastery, the best part is I got here in a week. The instructor had deep knowledge of the product and his experience with customers was invaluable. I would recommend this course to anyone using the product!!
This course was really extensive. It extended and filled in the gaps I had in my knowledge of the product.
Learning as a team provides a shared experience and the extra benefit of the questions and comments of my colleagues.

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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
