Brad M, I am always very impressed by the VMware instructors. Jim was no exception. His real life experiences are as valuable as some of the course material.
Hassan S, The instructor James Corder was amazing and a key why I enjoyed this training for a week. I was a bit nervous before attending the training as my VMware skills were limited but I feel now I am much more comfortable. Thanks to the course materials and the instructor James Corder
Chance M, Jim Corder is amazing. He was able to keep the class very interesting and upbeat. I was engaged the entire class, never wanting to miss a second of his stories.
Amber W, Jim was great. He was very knowledgeable and made the class fun with his good sense of humor. It was also beneficial to have someone who knew so much about the product from actual real world experience. Too many times only the book material is known and that does not make for a well rounded instructor.
Darin Z, Jim is a fantastic instructor. He knows the content well, and was able to answer any question that was posed. He made the class entertaining and fun, and was truly a pleasure to learn from. I would recommend Jim highly to anyone looking to take VMware training. He knows how to teach without making you want to nap, and gives you real world applications for the different pieces of VMware technology that he teaches on. Fantastic!
Charles B. A true asset to VMware. Expertise, practical knowledge and professionalism are hallmarks of his skill set.
Jeremy M. Jim was extremely knowledgeable of the material and presented it very well to the class. He encouraged class participation and made the class fun to take.
Robert B, Best instructor and answered all my questions - Hands down the best!
Christopher P. Having an instructor with real world experience is great. Being able to give real world examples of topics being discussed is truly a benefit.
Bryant J. The best instructor Ive had with VMware. His enterprise experience and knowledge in VMware sets him far apart from other instructors Ive had in the past. Jims knowledge and expertise are second to none. He is personable, experienced and passionate about VMware. Im very impressed with the entire week. Was not a waste of money. Great class!
James Y. Real life examples kept this class interesting and instructor knowledge was above expectation, would recommend this class to all VMware administrators with this instructor.
Natisha I. I am very satisfied with the way the questions are answered. If the answer was not immediately known the instructor looked it up for me. I am very happy with the course and the instructor. The stories helped during the labs.
Wm L. Jim Corder did an excellent job and knows the material well. Its good when an instructor is also out there practicing what he teaches. Real world experience on Jims part helps take the training to a higher level.
Chris H. The instructor...his knowledge, talent, grace, and style was outstanding regarding, knowledge, skills, etc. Jim was superb. The content and presentation of the course was outstanding. Jim, the instructor was flawless.
James W. Jim brought a wealth of industry knowledge and applied it to the material of class to give a presentation that provided not only what was being taught but added examples of how to actually apply it in the real world. His level of knowledge of the product and style of presentation made this an excellent class and helped everyone walk away with a good understanding of the core concepts in the training.
Edwin N. Instructor had deep knowledge, excellent skills explaining subject in a way you can relate to within your environment.
Tony C. This is the second class I have taken with Jim Corder as the instructor. I would recommend him for VMware training to all of my friends and colleagues. The fact that he uses vmware as a consultant and is not just an instructor allows him to present real life scenarios on uses of the vSphere product suite that enhance the learning experience.
