Detailed explanation, re-iteration of points in a quite subtle way that really drove the knowledge home very well. Rod's willingness to double-check the odd obscure question that we rasied, to be sure that his answers were 100% right. Also, his interest in discussing the pros & cons of alternate coding styles so that we learnt not only how to use C++ in our intended way, but why it should be done that way.

Experience sharing, it's teacher's know-how and valuable.

The online-ness of it meant that we could save a lot of time. Much appreciated. Also, the fact that the trainer knew both c# and Cpp was a huge help since he could explain everything through knowledge we already possessed.
