The way of transferring knowledge and the knowledge of the trainer.
Jakub Rekas - Bitcomp Sp. z o.o.
Course - Machine Learning on iOS
He's an experienced trainer with a real life experience in the topic he was teaching. That led the course to cover the most important topics which interests any developer working in the field, and small details would be easily overseen if he was not working in this platform. Moreover, he was giving the course using the latest versions of is and Swift (10 \ 3) and that is a huge advantage to be adapting such new technology in short time.
