“Are you looking for an Azure teacher? You’ll find the right one in Mark! He makes difficult topics very clear and gives explanations until you totally get it. The structure and pace of his trainings are excellent. Although our classes were 100% online because of corona, Mark kept our utmost attention from early in the morning until the end of the day. And above all, after the training sessions he was more than willing to answer all of our questions”
