Experienced Enterprise and IT architects taking these courses have said:
The workbook, for me, was an outstanding re-enforcement tool. Some folks are visual learners, some audio, and some tactile. I tend to fall more to the tactile; I must “do” it, to “learn” it. This was a great way for me to accomplish that.
The workbook was excellent as it forced me to go through the material myself in more detail than during the class.
The application questions made me think more, rather than just looking up an answer
