10. Which is good? Online Training or Classroom Training?

Let’s see. In 2018, Online Training makes more sense, but if get hold of a good trainer then of course, classroom training is excellent.

11. Where can I get MuleSoft Training?

There are many vendors, but make sure you get Lab access before and after the sessions.

Personally, if asked, I would say CloudFoundation is doing a great job at keeping people informed and educating them on various technologies. There are thousands of blogs available on the platform for you.

12. Where can I get MuleSoft Training in Hyderabad, MuleSoft Training in Bangalore along with the materials?

I get this question from my office colleagues, friends, and Blog readers almost every day or week, and my answer is if you are taking this offline, then it’s irrelevant.

I would recommend Online training instead of Classroom training for MuleSoft, since it’s completely Tool Based i.e.; 0% Theory, 100% Labs.

There are many companies like Accenture, Cap Gemini, CGI, Cognizant, Tech Mahindra, HCL, Birla Soft etc. That’s clearly listed on their official portal.
