“Good instructor with excellent communication skills and knowledge + experience in API. I would highly recommend WunderDog (and Miki) if a similar opportunity arises again.”
“The trainers handled the training very professionally and always felt safe to ask stupid questions. I can’t think of anything bad to say about them.”
