Ulrike Sp.Dürr IT Services GmbH

MIM Foundation training in March 2023
Ralf St.Team Leader, University of Lübeck
"Tobias and Sebastian's expertise, which was always available and with which they answered every question in the friendliest way . The dynamism with which the training was constantly adapted to our requirements was also impressive in view of the complexity. Once again, Rüdiger's team fulfilled our expectations of OCG perfectly."

Ralf S.University of Lübeck
"The topics could be flexibly adapted to our needs, the depth of the topics was reduced somewhat in the training to make room for other topics."

May 2023, IDABUS Identity Solution Training
Astrid S.IT administrator
"The labs are very good, both in terms of content and the additional explanations. The trainer, Michael Vollendorf, explained all the content very clearly and took time to answer all questions and problems. In addition, he often referred to practical situations, which made some topics even clearer."

March 2022
Jörn S.Service Manager Digital Identity
"The four days with James were very useful to me, as I have little experience with Azure and identity management in Azure, what I learned is ideal to better evaluate the possibilities of Azure and to know what I can expect from the team. James' sociable and positive manner did the rest to make the "internal" training a well-rounded event."

May 2021
Benjamin S.MIM Developer
"The course was very informative for me as a MIM newcomer. I found the alternation between presentation and practice lab very well chosen. The documentation material for the exercises is also sufficient. The trainer did a great job. The lectures were never boring or too "dry". It is also very positive that the trainer has a lot of practical experience."

May 2019
Annika G.Identity and access management
"Both the course and the trainer were great. Michael answered all questions and explained them very clearly."

January 2023
Philipp S.IT Consultant
"The training materials are very practice-oriented. The good presentation of the topics with pictures and examples makes it possible to quickly understand and apply the complex topics. I particularly liked the friendly, competent way in which James Cowling conveys the topics. He always manages to "pick up" the participants and inspire them with his witty manner. Great!"

January 2023
Jörg G.Project management and identity management support
"The speaker comes from a practical background and manages to convey the material in a relaxed manner. Various methods were used to present the content, which is not always easy to digest, in an understandable way. Many aha moments. All questions were answered in detail and clearly. Very friendly atmosphere. The material learned was then applied to a practical example."

March 2022
Benjamin KaiserGerman Armed Forces
"I liked the course itself and also the fact that the lecturer took his time and went through the problems and solutions with us."
