The training was awesome, with clear and easy-to-understand explanations. It was definitely worth the purchase. Whenever I had questions, I messaged the trainer on WhatsApp, and he always responded promptly and helped me resolve my doubts without asking for any additional payment. I have successfully implemented many of the scripts in my office environment, and the results have been excellent. I even received very positive feedback and ratings for my work. Thank you so much for the wonderful training and continuous support!

Would have given 4.5 ideally Extensive Course for a SQL DBA looking to use Powershell & excellent value for money. To nitpick - a few examples that don't quite work as described / need tidying up - but you are given enough to work out fixes for yourself - however I chose to such 'bugs' as "learning opportunities". There are 37 hours of videos - however as Rajesh clearly points out on numerous occasions you should devote more time (homework) to get the maximum value

This course is perfect for Starting Automation using PowerShell for SQL DBA. All examples are very Clear. I've always wanted to learn PowerShell Automation for SQL DBA and this course filled that gap. Very well-structured and easy to follow. This course is a game-changer for Automation using PowerShell. The best thing is that the Trainer Rajesh is very much supportive and he is helping through WhatsApp and scheduling meeting to explain and not charge any thing extra.

Rajesh, some how you need to fix the issue on your videos . i cannot fast-forward or if the course is stuck, next time it starts from the beginning instead of starting from the left off. You need to work with UDEMY and fix this as we are paying for your course. Please fix that and let me know . i will give good rating . Atleast give the flexibility of forward and backward

The course had a good start: an easy beginning and fine explanations. Moreover the course is in my opinion very extensive. However, as the course progressed I missed certain things, such as: explanations about some concepts, why some statemens were used or why it was written in a certain manner. Finally, my biggest issue is the order in which components were explained. Many videos are placed in the wrong order, where "enhancement videos" are played before the basics. Or when concepts are used in one video and explained in later videos.

This was a truly excellent course for Powershell Scripting for SQL DBA. This is the course which I was looking for since long time. I can say heavy accent but, Rajesh tried to explain each and every things using scripts. Once I started doing practice its becomes very easy to understand. Module 4 is very IMP topic for Powershell, but when I started I was not happy, After completing and doing practice Its make me to develop many code for my office and I got lots of appreciation. Good Work .......... Thanks you for this course...

I was looking for a Powershell course specifically for SQL DBA. I bought other Powershell courses as well but they are not useful THIS COURSE IS EXTREMELY USEFUL FOR MSSQL DBAs. Now I am enjoying the learning and started implementing it in a test environment. The content is very nicely designed to get all understanding step-by-step. If you are a DBA and want to automate day-to-day activities, this course is the way to automate your activities. The trainer is experienced and explained each concept with examples. I am happy to take this course.
