Instructor lead training

Win-Fu training offers classroom training both onsite and online. Our trainer Sami Laiho is one of the world’s leading experts in the Windows OS and an exceptional teacher/entertainer. Sami’s sessions have been evaluated as best session in multiple TechEd’s, Ignites etc.

I offer my longer courses in Finland in Finnish, and elsewhere in English. All courses are normally hybrid, so you can join online or onsite. I have 3-4 day courses that are for a whole topic, like Troubleshooting or Security. Then I have one day courses that teach you how to implement a certain solution, like Principle of Least Privilege or AppLocker.

For my currently available courses online, you can head for https://corellia.fi/sami-laiho-courses/ The Green ones are in English and the Blue ones are in Finnish.

I also have partners in different countries, offering my classes. You can check them out on their own websites:

Can’t choose between troubleshooting courses? See this video to ease the decision: https://youtu.be/KlxsWYOJtqo

What people have said about my courses:

“Technical side: Sami’s trainings include The True Stuff from the “start” to the “end”. In other words, the whole Windows’ “saga” is covered from top to down, or the other way around, absolutely NO bullshit included.

Presenting side: Sami is able to connect the dots in an unique way, by using some very understandable examples, with “boxes or hats” if you know what I mean – putting technical stuff to look like “everyday stuff” in a way you stop thinking for a moment and see it differently. In combination with some real life stories, to keep you focused. Participants must expose themselves to the fact some of the stuff is really really technical stuff and you might not understand “all at once”. But at some points you might realize “hey, I’ve heard about this, now I know”. – Kasperi

“If you are ready for a deep dive into the Windows kernel and willing and wanting to learn how Windows really works, then you need to take Sami’s BlackBelt course. Sami’s high energy, enthusiastic and engaging approach to teaching, will captivate you and keep your attention for the entire duration. When it is all over, you will begging for more.” – Douglas DeCamp, Lakeland Health

“Great in dept information about Windows. Been troubleshooting Windows for a long time but there where a lot of things I didn’t know. One of the best trainings I had!” – Jeroen van den Heuvel

“It’s a very interesting course. You learn so much about actions you didn’t know they existed.” – Dwino Panis

“Excellent trainer, by far the most “hands on” with REAL LIFE scenarios testing, ABSOLUTE needed for an IT Pro in an enterprise” – Panagiotis Karaberis

“You think you know Windows, but you dont.” – Anonymous

“It’s the best training for in-depth Win10 troubleshooting available at the moment. The trainer is engaging and keeps the students awake and makes the learning so much easier. He’s one of the rare teachers that makes the learning fun.” – Samuli Laamanen

“Sami is the most skillful trainer I have ever taken class from. His enthusiastic approach to teaching this course made huge impression and right amount of humour keeps your interest to the subject at max level.” – Ville Pääkkönen

Q. When can be sure I have a seat at your course?

Student cancellations 3 weeks before a class starts = 75% refund
Student cancellations 2 weeks before a class starts = 50% refund
Student cancellations less than 2 weeks before a class starts = 0% refund
Sami cancels a course because of a very severe reason like a relative dying or serious illness = You will be refunded your purchased price for the class. You will NOT be refunded any travel expenses or incidental expenses which were made to get you to the class. Adminize.com and Sami’s liability of class cancellation starts and ends with the exact purchase price you paid for the class in the event of a cancellation on our part.
