Can other trainings help you answer these questions.

How can one decide which institute or trainer is the best when one doesn't know the topic.  It's a catch-22 situation. 

So, I compiled a list of questions.  You should ask the institutes or trainers that you may be considering for taking SOA BPEL Training whether their training will enable you to answer these questions.

There are many more questions that you would need to know the answers for if you want to land into a job, but for the purpose of evaluating the quality and completeness of a SOA BPEL training course, these should be enough.  I call this a 40-question litmus test !.  The training you would get from this site will cover all these topics.
