A Great Introduction to Git & GitLab
The staff was very friendly, the facilities were attractive, and the selection of drinks and snacks on site was excellent throughout. The head coach always took the time to address all questions, and thanks to the assistant coach, other aspects were also explored. Overall, I would definitely recommend it if you’re looking to get started with Git / GitLab.

How do the online training sessions work from a technical standpoint?
The online training sessions are held via Microsoft Teams. Questions can be asked at any time, either directly to the instructor or conveniently via the chat feature.

The exercises take place on dedicated virtual machines (VMs) in the NETWAYS Web Services training environment. The process follows a set pattern:
