People that took courses have opinions about them:

Mike [the trainer] was very well-organized and tailored the
course to our requests.  We had a wide range of Python experience in
our group and each person gained something valuable to take away.

Dr. Ryan Woodard, Chair of Entrepreneurial Risks, ETH Zurich, Switzerland

Within three days, I got a very good introduction to Python. The course
was well designed and systematically covered all basics that are
necessary to quickly make efficient use of the language. The course was
didactically well structured. A valuable script and many practicable tips
added to its quality. Individual needs were catered for skillfully making
the course most useful for all participants. I can absolutely recommend this
course to everybody who wants become productive with Python very quickly.

Dr. med. Beat Meister, Bern, Switzerland

The standard Python for programmers and the customized "Python for Experts"
course where a great success. The courses where well documented and taught
on a very professional way, which resulted in a boost on the Python knowledge.
The good documentation and teacher knowledge was much appreciated. The hints
we received, out of the scope of the course, where very useful. Structured
teaching method! Thanks Mike.

Bart Hillaert, Sr HW Engineer, Alcatel-Lucent Bell NV, Antwerpen, Belgium

Participation in the course "Python for Scientists and Engineers"
gave me great opportunity to discover many Python tools that are
useful for scientists. Since I don't have a good programming background,
I have to spend a lot of my working time dealing with programming.
During course I've got to know how to solve my scientific problems
easier and faster.
Mike knows well what scientists need, so his hints are very practical
and valuable. The hands-on course prepared by Mike covers a wide range of
examples and will be very helpful in my daily work.

Dorota Jarecka, Institute of Geophysics, Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw (PhD student)

The course "Python for Scientists and Engineers" is a very useful
introduction to Python programming for scientific applications and
offers a comprehensive overview of this vast subject.
Mike [the Trainer] is very knowledgeable about diverse aspects of
Python scientific coding and adapts his course to fit the needs of
his students.

Dr Mihai Duta, Scientific Software Advisor, University of Oxford, Oxford Supercomputing Centre

Very good introduction to the programming language.

Optimal usage of course time. Good teaching material.
