I liked that it was practical. Loved to apply the theoretical knowledge with practical examples.
Aurelia-Adriana - Allianz Services Romania
Course - Python and Spark for Big Data (PySpark)
The course was about a series of very complex related topics & Pablo has in-depth expertise of each of them. Sometimes nuances were lost in communication and/or due to time pressures and possibly expectations were not quite met due to this. Also there were some UHG/Azure Databricks setup issues however Pablo / UHG resolved these quickly once they became apparent - this to me showed a high level of understanding and professionalism between UHG & Pablo,

The lessons were taught in a Jupyter notebook. The topics were structured with a logical sequence and naturally helped develop the session from the easier parts to the more complex. I'm already an advanced user of Python with background in Machine Learning, so found the course easier to follow than, possibly, some of my classmates that took the training course. I appreciate that some of the most elementary concepts were skipped and that he focused on the most substantial matters.
