ripcord
After one and a half day of a training about “SQL Server Analysis Services” (SSAS) which should have lasted for three days we (a group of five attendees) pulled the ripcord. The trainer did not seem to have a glimpse of didactic at all. He did not seem to have a glimpse about the course subject either. This was not only my impression – it were all of us. After we had a small chat with the chief about our displeasure, he offered us to get the training with an other trainer 5 weeks later – for free. So we canceled our hotel and made the tour back. HE (the trainer) has wasted a lot of our time. Never ever again!
Update: The second trainer was classes better than the first one, but still left some room for improvement.
Sad , that you wasted one and half day,and tolerate the trainer for a such a long period ? Were u teaching the trainer about the subject?
The problem of paid trainings/events is you cannot apply the law of two feet
He translated the english course book into german (or read the original english words with a german pronounciation) to explain a specific topic and again(!) to answer any further questions…
