Paul L. of Gaithersburg MD July 2 Jim, the instructor, did an incredible job keeping this class going in spite of the roadblocks put up by Company Security, Room assignment problems, lack of connectivity, and the remote equipment not being setup properly before class. His depth of knowledge from prior experience help us to understand difficult concepts and tell the difference between VMwares actual capabilities and what some of us thought it was.
Nick P. of Gaithersburg MD July 2 The instructor did a great job managing the time allocated and ensured all modules were covered at a high level. Note: Time had to be made up because of a mis-communication on Company's behalf. Jim did a great job adjusting for this without making the class feel rushed.
Curtis M. of Columbus Ohio July 9 Jim is extremely knowledgeable and sharp with his instructing, great educator, thanks!
John L. of Columbus Ohio July 9 Presenter was very knowledgable and presented the class-course in a fun and interesting way. Kept my attention throughout the entire course.

Stephen B, of Gaithersburg MD July 30 Well organized class. The instructor has a great knowledge on the subject.
Arvile M. of Gaithersburg MD July 30 Jim Corder instructor delivery was easy to understand and he took the time to allow for learning for all students.
Kathy M. of Columbus OH August 6. This was a great class, Jim Corder very personable and made the learning environment a great one, not intimidating for some of us with little to no prior knowledge.
Brad M. of Columbus, OH August 6. I was very impressed with James Corder subject knowledge and his ability to present the information in a professional and yet in a laid back friendly environment that facilitated knowledge transfer more efficiently.
Mitch J. On-Line August 13 Jim was an excellent instructor, He knew his stuff, and was good at distilling the info for us.
Joe L On-Line August 13 Jim was a great teacher, lots of experience.
Ben H. of Columbus Ohio 08/20/10 James Corder is a wonderful instructor. Where was he when I was in college. Watch out VMware, I know some schools that would offer him a position in a heartbeat.
Timothy N. of Columbus Ohio 08/20/10 Great class with great instructor, James D. Corder, who knows to subject very well. James made the class entertained and fun to be in. Thank you and great job...James.
Brandon C. of Crane Indiana 09/03/10 The instructor was very informative on each topic we discussed. All the consulting the instructor has done on the side was very helpful in this course, as he would give many great details and examples of best practices, lessons learned, etc. I would recommend him to others and would prefer to take future courses with him as well.
Brian F. of Columbus, OH 09/25/10 James is an excellent instructor.
Felicia H. of Columbus, OH 09/25/10 Great instructor - lots of practical examples from his extensive experience.
Ryan T. of Crane Indiana 09/03/10 I have taken several professional training courses and no instructor has ever known the subject material as well as Jim. When asked a question, I did not feel I received an out-of-the-box answer. He was able to not only give me the answer I needed, but also explained the reasoning behind it and would give an example. Too often, I have found, an instructor will simply recite the material from a book or slides. I did not feel Jim required the slides at all to teach this class, that the slides were there for us. I will definitely recommend this class, provided Jim is the instructor, to anyone in a position to take it.
