What’s your favorite training on MVA (track or course)? Which one(s) would you recommend?

I like the Enhancing Your Business and Career with the Private Cloud training.

There is also a lot of reading material and additional information to get more knowledge on the different topics. Spending a lot of time isn’t always the easiest thing to do but when you finish a course and took your time, you’ll see that you learned a lot and that you are ready to start with the technology
