Chris Bramley is a very talented Partner Enablement Trainer.  I got to know him by last year May when he enabled me during his intense course for beeing a Pre-Sales Engineer for Carbonite EVault in the DACH region. I attended a lot of training courses in the past , but this is the only one I can still remember. It has to do with his special “style” of teaching. It must be very intense for him to teach with that style. But the very positive feedback of the course attendees gives him the pleasure he should earn for a very good training course. Chris was and still is my mentor and as thta a worthful resource for my daily work as a Pre-Sales Engineer. He’s very loyal to the company and I “love” to work with him. I wish there would be more persons out there with his special ability to train people.

I want to recommend Chris as an excellent trainer. As I went to the four day eVault Partner training course I expected (as with every training course) to have a boring time with difficulties to remember all the material offered.  Although by the way the training was given, these four days passed by very quickly and were very pleasant.  The most notable is that I can still recall most of the offered material, even after two weeks of holiday.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have been to three training courses led by Chris Bramley. Besides the obvious pleasant and fun laced way of leading these sessions, Chris stands out by not only knowing the products very well, but also being fully aware of the widest scope in which the product could be implemented. Maybe not directly obvious, but Chris is extremely astute in gauging the different levels of technical knowledge and understanding of people attending his courses, adjusting the tech level of his knowledge transfer seamlessly to a level slightly above the lowest common denominator where his playful and pop-quizzing style quickly draws the level high enough for it to be interesting and relevant to all. In short, a very well rounded person technically, personally and didactically.

He is a top educator. It was a pleasure attending at his courses. His engagement rubs off on all attendees, which creates a good learning environment! 

I went to multiple different free evault training courses, all were presented by Chris. Funny enough, I found these courses far more useful and fun than a lot of other high paid courses. Chris is an excellent trainer and highly skilled professional, and brings this knowledge with a lot of enthusiasm and humor. Always fun to attend his courses!

Christopher was our teacher for a 4 day Evault backup course. Nobody cares about backups, really. Nobody. also nobody cares about network-usage, as long as performance is acceptable. Christopher cares about both, and was able to make the 2 most boring topcis ever interesting, to a point where i still apply the tweaks he mentioned, and still consider to buy one of his books. Christopher has a pretty unique teaching style, where his goal is not to read the training documentation to us, but to genuinely attract attention, allowing his students to learn stuff. Being a parttime teacher myself (programmingskills to 9yr olds), i have adopted some of his techniques to keep easily distracted individuals on topic, and wanting more. He taught me Evault, and then some.

I was lucky enough to attend E Vault training run by Chris,  Technical training is usually a pretty “dry” endeavour, but Chris’ enthusiasm, coupled with his intimate knowledge of the E-Vault Platform (now Carbonite Backup) resulted in a very enjoyable training regime. Whilst Chris could be said to have deviated quite heavily from an approach of teaching to “pass the exam” – the roundabouts and backwaters we traversed filled in more gaps and provided much more practical training in how to actually use, manage and troubleshoot the product more effectively than, what might be considered a more direct route, through the training manual… Entertaining, effortlessly engaging, and enthusiastically committed, I would highly recommend Chris as a technical trainer – oh, and he has also managed to build a most impressive “Castle Greyskull” within Minecraft, viewable on YouTube (complete with theme tune) – which would further validate his “geek credentials” to any pre millennials out there… Read more

Chris ran a 5 day training course for a small group of people and he made the material accessible and understandable and it was delivered in a clear format that really engaged the attendees. Overall the training was of excellent quality.
