  3. We received training from Mr. Hemeier on our premises with 10 colleagues over a period of several days. Although the subject was not the easiest and there were many topic blocks, it was never boring, and all questions were answered professionally by the trainer. We have gained a lot of competence through this training and can use the newly acquired knowledge well in our company. We recommend the CloudPirates training 100%!

  4. For our in-house training in the area of Kubernetes, we found Dennis Hemeier to be a first-class trainer. His broad and in-depth practical knowledge made the training dynamic and vivid and created a relaxed atmosphere. The structure of the training was also oriented towards our pre-defined requirements, so that we were able to get the best possible benefit from the training. We can therefore recommend Dennis Hemeier with the best conscience.

  5. Dennis Hemeier from CloudPirates was an excellent lecturer in his Docker & Kubernetes training, and thus brought us a good deal further and closer to these exciting technologies. Due to the modular offer, the training could already be well adapted to our focus beforehand, and Dennis also adapted well to our needs spontaneously during the training. Because the Cloudpirates offers both training and consulting, we had the opportunity to discuss our current challenges after the training, which we gladly took advantage of in the form of a follow-up "ask me anything".
