Got right to the core of how to use the tools, very little fluff, really appreciated the format of ~10 minutes of lecture then quick hands on and implementation.

Course - JIRA for Beginners
There was a lot to like. Considering we only supplied our pre-course questionnaires the day before Marek pitched the content perfectly for our group. It was detailed but easy to follow, and he gave us multiple chances to try out exercises, as well as ask questions. Marek clearly knows his way around the software, and his enthusiasm for what it can do was infectious. His manner was engaging, and he did a really good job of keeping us engaged. We are a fidgety bunch at the best of times, and the subject could have been very dry but he kept us all interested.
