I really liked that Grzegorz was a real professional, a person who knew what he was talking about. You could feel that he has had mastered his subject and was willing to hand this knowledge over to you. The knowledge discussed during theoretical part was really important and presented in understandable way.

Course - FreeRTOS: Programming for Real Time Operating Systems
The training was very well organized. The trainer had the knowledge and experience on the subject. We had plenty of exercises to be able tp understand what was discussed during the lectures. The trainer had the patience when there were issues and answered all the questions.
Alexandru - Siemens
Course - FreeRTOS: Programming for Real Time Operating Systems
The trainer was very knowledgeable and live code examples on a "real" hardware device with a display were great.
Silver Kuusik - Engie Mobisol GmbH
Course - FreeRTOS: Programming for Real Time Operating Systems
I liked the fact that the training was more induced as prepared chaos. this means that the training took a structured life of its' own, but had ample room for learning and mistake making.
