I’ve run and devised numerous training courses, primarily in the areas of business analysis, relational systems design and programming. I first started delivering training in 1988, when I conducted a two month graduate training programme for new joiners to Cap Gemini (formerly Hoskyns). Since then I’ve provided many different training courses, be it off the shelf for Oracle Education or bespoke courses for a variety of clients. As a developer who trains I’ve been well-positioned to provide courses backed up with a wealth of practical experience.
I can offer the following courses:
