    Are learning materials provided?

    Yes. You receive structured courseware and learning resources created by subject matter experts, used through lectures, discussions and hands-on exercises to reinforce each part of the syllabus.

    Is the training practical or mostly theory?

    It is practical. The programme blends concise explanations with hands-on exercises, real examples and retrospective sessions so you can apply the fundamentals to your own projects rather than just learn them in the abstract.
