David H. of Chicago, IL Jan 12 Jim Corder was a very personable instructor and truly knows the subject matter. His contribution to the training class was invaluable. He is to be commended. I have been a technology trainer for over 25 years and Jim is one of the top trainers in my book.
Bryan D. of of Columbus, OH Jan 19 Jim Corder did an outstanding job. His labs worked flawlessly which is a training first for me. His knowledge level and warmth made the class both educational and enjoyable. He should be recognized as the gold standard for future VMware trainers--or any trainers for that matter.
Charlie W. of Cleveland, OH Jan 23 Jim was a great instructor. second class I have had with him. he develops a good relationship with class and knows the product well
Matt S. of Columbus, OH Jan 30 James Corder is a very good resource and excellent teacher.
Dave G. of Columbus, OH Jan 30 Jim was a great instructor. He brought in real world experiences throughout the course. Most instructors just know how to teach the course from the book without any external experience.
Rodney R. of Columbus, OH Jan 30 Jim Corder is very knowledgeable about the VMware suite of products. His real world examples during the lectures were of particular value.
David M. of Columbus, OH February 8 WOW, does Jim know his stuff. I learned Basic UNIX Shell Scripting in just 3 days.
Field S. of Madison, WI February 12 Jim did a great job. While I know he`s not hired to "entertain" us, he is very knowledgeable in the subject material, and it was fun to be here.
Ryan L. of Madison, WI February 12 The instructor was very well versed in VI3, and the few questions he was not able to answer from experience, he was able to access a support group and get answers by the end of class that day.
Jordan M. of Columbus, OH February 20 Great instructor! Jim had applicable real world experience that helped us better understand the product.
Jake L. of Washington, DC March 9 Jim Corder was extremely knowledgeable and surpassed my expectations. He also answered questions that were outside of the scope of the class.
Donald J. of Washington, DC March 9 James Corder is an outstanding instructor. He has a great ability to keep the students engaged and has an excellent grasp of the topic he teaches. Too many times I encounter instructors that can only operate within the bounds of a rigid syllabus. Jim was able to step outside the box and give useful real-world examples to bring points home. Great Job!
Rob M. of Columbus, OH March 16 Jim is highly knowledgeable, yet very easy to understand. He is one of the best instructors I`ve had the pleasure of learning from.
Benjamin W. of Cleveland, OH March 30 Jim was the best instructor that I have ever had. He was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and had many real life examples to describe features taught in the material. I found his real life examples extremely valuable allowing me to compare his stories to my environment. While he wasn`t easily stumped, he would always admit if he didn`t know the answer to a question. He would either find the answer or provide the pathway to the answer. I have had instructors in the past that have given false information to make themselves seem more intelligent. This quality is extremely valuable and shows that Jim really knows his stuff.
Charles M. Cleveland, OH March 30 Overall the course was very pleasing. The environment was nice and relaxed, not giving stress/pressure to any individual. The relaxed environment allowed for a fun way to learn the material. This was mainly due to the presentation of James Corder who made the atmosphere very enjoyable.
