"We know from experience that most people view IT training as boring, tedious, and an expensive time suck," said Corey Frank, COO and co-founder of StormWind Studios. "We've been able to change that perception by bringing Hollywood-style excitement to the world of IT training -- we offer complete, more effective training courses in half the time, at half the cost of 'the other guys.'" The fact that we are continuing to land some of the best talent our competition once had is further proof that StormWind will continue to leave other, once popular, IT training companies in the dust.
