Matthew B. of Columbus, OH April 6 Presenter was very professional and was able to answer any questions I posed very quickly. Its great to have someone with vast experience with VMware and in particular Unix/Linux environments.
Jeremey W. of Columbus, OH April 6 Teacher was well versed in real world environments which greatly lent to his ability to convey the functionality of the product suite.
David G. of Columbus, OH April 20 Jim is an excellent instructor, very knowledgeable in the subject matter, and personable in his presentation. He was very helpful in every question I had, and available at all times.
Bryan M. of Columbus, OH April 20 I have taken other training courses - this ranks up at the top. Very informative - well taught
Garett K. of Edison, NJ April 27 Instructor kept it moving but insured the slowest student in each lesson met the objective.
AJ C. of Edison, NJ April 27 As a 10 year veteran MCT & CCI, I can tell that Jim is a seasoned pro. Demeanor with the class was great and he knew the product well. Anyone can read a book and follow along with a PPT, but having real world examples and the experience behind the product is what sets good trainers from great trainers. Great Job!

Jason R. Minneapolis, MN May 22 Jim is a great instructor for this course. He not only knows the content and has real world experience to share that supports what he`s teaching.
