attended over the years, this training was so different in terms of approach and content.

consultancy and enterprise architecture supported by hands on and real practical
experience

interesting. His command on the subject is very good and excellent training skills are very

training via PNU which took place at the last week of year 1433 H. Initially, I was expecting
the output will be good enough to understand the concept in general while I do have other
task in the same time with PNU but the way that the training was well defined and
performed by Safyan made its magic to compete with the time in order to catch the most
important items.

understanding by the presence.

he has industry experience and often engages on commercial enterprise architecture
projects at enterprise level. During the training session I attended, he brought real-life

otherwise. I recommend him for any training or EA consulting jobs!

28. Sufyan was an exceptional facilitator when I attended TOGAF 9 Course with JODAYN. The
course was rich from both sides: quantity and quality, and it was a busy week but full of
useful knowledge, discussions and experience transfer.
Sufyan, being as a facilitator of this course, such a knowledgeable person made it possible
to digest the heavy materials and eventually passing both exams together and directly, at
the end of training. (Yes, I mean it, the same evening of the last day!)
Although JODYAN is an excellent facility with a great management team but I believe that
Sufyan is an invaluable asset.
