I would like more time to learn on this course. Thankful I have time after to utilize course material and labs.

5 minutes per hour for a break was helpful but I would have preferred 10-15 mins and I would have gone an extra day or two longer to address all of the material.

I wish networking as a longer class than just two weeks

The material gave us insights into some key frameworks and approaches. All material indicated the body and standards reference to gather more information where necessary

Without having experience of using data analytics, it was difficult at times to keep up with the demonstrations in the software. However, teaching the theory and logic, not just how to perform tasks in the software, was very beneficial.

I was hoping for more insights into raw data management. When I selected this course, the description came from MISTI not ACI. It may be that the description changed between the company switch, I don't know. Many DA courses focus on data extracts from production systems, and while I understand the intent, when 80-95% of data analytics is cleaning and organizing data, there should be a place in these type of courses that focuses on dealing with various types of data. Ideas such as how to verify the data source, import techniques for tough data sources such as PDFs, or other data types, and how to clean that data. Tom gave a couple of examples, but I think overall there should be more or a second class maybe one or two days that focuses on desperate data sets, how to organize and document them. It may be mute because there is not a lot of demand for it, but within the government there is. This is great class for someone who is new to DA. I will suggest it if asked.

After this training, I have a greater appreciation for Audits and Auditors. Gained more insight on Application protection and how important it is to document everything. Finally, I will not have those "Feelings" when we are being Audited again... LOL

I personally had a hard time understanding the course at first but over time I slowly grasped hold of the concept
