It had a good mixture of theory and hands-on exercises.

Our team enjoyed a lot the Machine Learning course of Chris. It had a good mixture of theory and hands-on exercises. Also, Chris was eager to understand our challenges and he provided us with valuable guidance. I can warmly recommend his trainings.

I have got something that finally enlighted me in understanding python mocking

During a training held by Chris I focused on two aspects: way of conducting training (since I’m Python trainer) and technical aspects of TDD/BDD that I was missing. Both aspects satisfied me.

As a trainer I have learned a lot by observing Chris in action. I really appreciate his patience in answering deep questions, sometimes even provocative ones.

From technical viewpoint I have got something that finally enlighted me in understanding python mocking – that made me truly thankful.

Software Architect at Nokia

Reasonably passed knowledge.

Well prepared training and reasonably passed knowledge, thanks to which we develop better services.

Arkadiusz Baraniecki

Infrastructure Team Manager at allegro.pl

It was clear, concise teaching and well structured.

I took Advanced Django with Chris for 3 days: It was clear, concise teaching and well structured. If I want to get a member of my team ready for Django development, I think Chris offers a time- and cost-efficient way to get them up to speed.

Especially thanks to Chris for his passion that is inspiring to me.

I’ve just finished my first course of Machine Learning in Python. It’s a great method for exploring wealth of information and changing them into knowledge and decisions.

Especially thanks to Chris for his passion that is inspiring to me. Teaching is a thankless job, but he’s really good at it.

I recommend cooperation with Mr. Krzysztof to people responsible for the development of employees’ competences

Mr. Krzysztof has provided professional support and advice while implementing competence development program for our engineers. The program covered advanced programming topics in Python and was designed according to blended learning approach. As a person responsible for managing this program, I had a possibility to take part in dedicated consultancy sessions with Mr. Krzysztof and gotsystematic feedback from him during the whole program. That helped us to design the program according to our expectations. I particularly appreciate trainer’s suggestions how to improve program implementation and design similar initiatives in the future. High personal culture, excellent communication skills, flexibility of the proposed solutions and the ability to transfer knowledge – these are the advantages that participants of our program particularly pointed out. I recommend cooperation with Mr. Krzysztof to people responsible for the development of employees’ competences, especially to those who care about promoting evidence based learning.

Hanna Kutrzeba Stogińska

Competence Development Manager at Nokia

We’ll come back for sure.

Very well prepared course. The amount of knowledge passed were huge – we could barely handle it. Also a lot of work involved in preparing exercises on our data, which greatly improved our capability of understanding the topic. We’ll come back for sure.

Senior Business Intelligence Developer at AB S.A.

Professional approach and friendly atmospere.

Professional approach and friendly atmospere. Trainer is eager to explain and answer clearly for all questions. A lot of prepared materials and excersises help in improving knowledge of programming. I recommend planning of specialized trainings with this company. The contact is quick and definite.

Sławomir Gubernat

Aerodynamics Engineer at MTU Aero Engines Polska

With his training, my team was able to identify key solutions.

The Python-Django ecosystem is designed to achieve initial success very quickly. However, as projects become more complex and demanding, it is also essential to know exactly about modern software development techniques, existing modules with their usecases and limits, in order to design, write, and deploy robust, maintainable, and successful code. Chris has acquired a remarkable knowledge in many of these areas and can combine and convey this knowledge very professionally, pragmatically, and efficiently. Additionally, I really appreciated his ability to integrate different learning speeds and his open and transparent style of communication. With his training, my team was able to identify key solutions to implement very demanding non-standard solutions.

Dr Mathias Goldau

Head of Databases at Max-Planck-Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences

Excellent materials and very flexible teaching approach.

As an absolute beginner in Machine Learning I hesitated to take part in the course. As it occurred Chris has the rare ability to adapt the teaching to the knowledge level of his students. Very inspiring and encouraging further learning of the subject.

Katarzyna Nyczka

Junior Python Developer

A lot of useful examples and exercises.

Training with Design Patterns in Python has brought the code to the daily work, which can easily be expanded with new functionality. Very helpful in this training, was the professional preparation of Krzysztof and a lot of useful examples and exercises. Also, friendly atmosphere was conducive to gaining knowledge.

Damian Barczyk

Software Developer at Ericsson

I’m very glad I took this training.

I was attending the Machine Learning in Python training conducted by Chris Medrela and I was very satisfied after completing the training.

Chris represents very open communication with attendees during training, is answering all the questions, is very well balancing among different levels of attendees’ experience in the subject. Definitely posseses thorough knowledge of Python.

After the training you leave with the idea that you know where to look further and how you can develop your skills in the subject.

I’m very glad I took this training.

Izabela Wojdyłło

Expert at PKO BP

I highly recommend Chris as a trainer.

Well-prepared training with many exercises. Even though we have requested many topics for just 3 days, Chris managed to handle them in a perfect manner. Training was conducted in a friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend Chris as a trainer.
