Collin Sampson
Course - SAP S/4HANA Overview (S4H00)
I liked the fact that the trainer was very flexible and offered information about subjects that were not included in the initial material. I liked his experience in other projects and the tips and tricks resulted from this experience. The training was interactive and even though the exercises were predefined, we could take the exercise in another direction than previously defined.
