Why Engineers & Teams Trust Ardan Labs
Best training in the Go community
You should reach out to the team over at Ardan Labs. They have been training the Go community since the beginning and I've yet to see anyone do it better.
Kelsey Hightower
Go features that made work better
Feeling so happy with myself: yesterday at work I refactored some code to use Go 1.16 built-in embed. I learned about it at an Ardan Labs service class.
Jessica Greene
Well-structured and useful advice
Excellent class. The instructor is a hacker speaking to hackers, so we got very useful information and advice. Well-structured and paced. 10/10 would gopher it again.

Best ever — learned to build great services
I finished Ultimate Service from Ardan Labs. I'm telling you this was the best ever. Talking from project structures to metrics. Now I can write good services in Go.
Adeniyi Oluwatola
Improved productivity with Go
Thanks Ardan Labs for a great Ultimate Go class! Bill is a great teacher and I'm definitely more productive in Go now.
Steve Francia
Complex topics explained clearly
Highly recommend Ultimate Go by Bill Kennedy and Ardan Labs. I appreciate how Bill explains complex topics simply and clearly. The labs were incredibly helpful too.
Matt Holt
Well documented and well structured
Their quality is astounding. They went above and beyond what we asked, working in line with best practices. Everything had test cases, was well documented and well structured, and ran smoothly.
Cole Calistra
The perfect partner
ArdanLabs was the perfect partner for us because there is no better Go training out there and their engineer augmentation services didn't feel like engaging with contractors. Their engineers are true team players and great mentors for our team.
