Feedback (Some more) I have never come across such a good trainer. He is technically very sound and an utter professional. Sheethal Sarah Chacko, Accenture Services. Overall experience was good. Instructor had good and in depth knowledge of the subject. He tried to cover most of the topics and time was given for discussions as well. Amit Kumar Jain, HCL Technologies. I am very contended with the presenter and his knowledge. The event was really very well organised by Microsoft and meets up all expectations one would have associated with brand Microsoft. Would definitely be looking forward to more interaction with technology experts like Amit Bansal. Shashank Rastogi, Keane India Ltd. I really appreciate the presentation on this concerned topic with an enhanced deep value given to technical aspects of SQL 2005 and at most on new features added. Trainer influenced us most during the session as by his technical depth into the subject. Raman Jain, Perot Systems. The training was good enough to sail through SQL Server 2005 advanced features. Well a two day slot is not sufficient for such a vast technology, but whatever was covered in two days was in a good manner and practical. I appreciate the work done by the trainer Mr.Amit Bansal.Cheers... Arihant Jain, Vertex India Ltd, Good. The training was good and meets my expectations from the sessions completely. Sumit Koul, Xansa India Ltd Time limit should be more so that instrucor can deliver better. Instructor has very deep knowledge but time limit should be more. Prasad Behere, Cybage Software Ltd. A well conducted training. Meet all expectations as thought of. Vishal Srivastava, Cognizant Technology Solutions India P ltd. It is very nicely covered. Firoz Hussain Sheikh, Infosys Technologies Ltd. Excellent pre work on assignment and very well coverage of the syllabus. Puja Vyas, Persistent Systems P Ltd. It provided an insight into new technologies available in MS SQL 2005 compared to 2000. It was a great experience with hands on lab and being trained by a MCT, who was really knowledgeable and well prepared for the session. Stephen Pradeep Kotian, Hewlett Packard. It was really a good experience, really useful. When I am going back to office some concepts I am able to take from this session. Ansar M. K., IBM India P Ltd. This was the best training session I ever attended. The lab sessions were really wonderful and gave a confidence to explore and implement new and enhanced features of SQL server 2005. The trainer was interactive, knowledgeable and capable enough to answer the queries being asked. Simi Koyithanary, Satyam Computer Services Ltd. The training was good, exceeded my expectation. I was able to grasp more knowledge and was able to clear my queries. A. Alfred Sukumar, Deloitte Services Trainer's communication and presentation skill is good. Viji K. Rajesh, Wipro Technologies. One of the best training programs, I have ever attended. Abhishek Kumar, IBM Global Services. Basically I'm into pure development background. I workedon SQL server 2005. It helps me a lot to upgrade my SQL 2005 knowledge. The trainer Amit has very good knowledge on this and it helped me a lot. Habeebulla Shaik, McAfee. Want you again for SQL Server 2008. Abhishek Bagchi, Lexmark I am very happy with the knowledge and presentation skills of the trainer. I would be happy to discuss about technical matters with the trainer in the future days. This is the best technical training which I have attended from past 2-3 years. Krishna Kishore M.S., Robert Bosche India I attended the last four sessions but even then it was easy for me to understand. N. Venkatesh, US Technology Sessions were very much uselful for understanding Basics as well as refreshing new topics. Jaya Rajesh Kutty, Hexaware Technologies Ltd.
