IT Training • Courseware • Consultancy
With over 25 years of experience in programming I specialize in developing engaging and effective learning materials tailored to meet the needs of today’s developers and businesses.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of teaching to professionals worldwide, both on-site and online. This extensive teaching experience has given me insights into what learners need to succeed, enabling me to craft courseware that is practical, accessible, and results-driven.
Beyond writing courseware, I’ve partnered with training companies to define, develop, and maintain their course curriculum. My work includes not only designing learning materials but also developing tools and software integrations that streamline course maintenance and support instructors in delivering effective classes.
If you’re looking for thoughtfully designed training programs, hands-on lab exercises, or guidance to refine your educational offerings, I’m happy to share my expertise.
A lot has changed over the years when it comes to IT training .Gone are the days when all classes were conducted on-site, often in converted conference rooms or specialized training centers. With the rise of online resources, self-paced courses and recorded sessions, learning has become more accessible and flexible. Yet, instructor-led training remains an invaluable part of the learning journey. It might no longer be in-person, on-site, but through applications like WebEx and Zoom, combining the convenience of technology with the effectiveness of expert guidance.
I firmly believe that learning is most impactful when people come together to explore new topics or programming languages. Learning is more than just reading books or watching videos—it’s about interaction. Engaging with an instructor provides opportunities to discuss real-world challenges, explore innovative solutions, and tackle complex problems that go beyond what textbooks can cover.
In the ever-evolving IT world, we often face unique challenges, such as working with decades-old systems written in what some may call “ancient” or “outdated” languages. These technologies, however, have served businesses reliably for years, and understanding their legacy is crucial as we navigate modern development.
Instructor-led training also fosters a collaborative environment where participants can learn from each other’s experiences. As the saying goes, "Smart people learn from their mistakes; wise people learn from others' mistakes." This dynamic exchange of ideas and solutions adds immense value to the training experience.
Programming languages are evolving rapidly, AI is redefining software development, and a new generation of developers is already at the gates. Instructor-led training remains a cornerstone of this progression, ensuring that learners not only adapt to change but thrive in it.
