Instil Software

Found their training very poor. Had Ryan as a trainer, thought it was over complex and very opinionated for an intro course. Delivery was very poor. "

I attended Dan Norths - Accelerated Agile course at Instil. Both the course and the environment were excellent.The CourseI throughly enjoyed the course in terms of content and delivery. It was refreshing to actually get tools and techniques that can be used to provide real evidence that lean and agile practises can add significant business benefit.The EnvironmentThe Instil offices are an excellent environment for learning - open, bright and quiet.I'd highly recommend both. "

First off fantastic location and hosts!Tom Stuart's (@tomstuart) course was very interesting from start to finish. He covered everything in terms of the tools and the methodologies used when using the BDD paradigm with Ruby.Tom has a great quality in being able to explain things well. Throughout his course I found myself saying, "so that's what that is" or "ahh that makes sense now"... The course is dense and fast paced, so you have to stay alert, but I didn't find that a problem because I found myself engrossed throughout. Although there was a lot of material and much of it is now hard to recall, the bits and pieces I have retained are probably the most important. Tom has helped me establish a few vital connections which have ultimately given me a broader and better understanding of how the Ruby on Rails stack works and why we as a team are using BDD.Dylan. "

Great Ruby/Rails/BDD course by Tom Stuart (@tomstuart), who is an extremely knowledgeable teacher and Ruby enthusiast.We've been using the technology for a while now, but it was great getting an external perspective and expert tips, particularly around BDD and the importance of words and language. "

After struggling with pieces of the Hibernate ORM puzzle during project work, the "Java ORM Frameworks" course offered by Instil provided an excellent insight into how the technology actually works - and how I should be using it to its potential. I couldn't have asked for more from the instructor - he was focused on his task, and answered all questions thoroughly. The slide pack was applicable, and exercises were engaging. "
