Very useful to me, while I have used VMS it was a long time ago and this course brought it all back and gave me the confidence to try some things on our VMS boxes.

I had the privilege to study OpenVMS and DCL under Dennis. Simply he is a great teacher with immense field knowledge and experience. His pronunciation is very clear and he uses nice vocabulary to explain complex concepts as well. he maintained the same energy during the entire training period and always encouraged students to ask questions.

Doing the fundamentals with an instructor was a blast! Not only was it better to get custom questions answered right away, having a human to help you co-relate and adapt concepts from other areas or different systems definitely eased my introduction to the VMS world. I would highly recommend this option, specially if you are coming with previous IT/ technology/engineering experience.
