Have a look at all the great free courses and various online opportunities available to equip you for the world today!

My Journey

I am a former IT administrator, website manager, and computer skills teacher. I have taught in various locations around South Africa, to all age groups from 7-year-olds to adults. I have spent over 20 years sourcing software and hardware for educational purposes, so I feel experienced enough to make some good suggestions regarding software courses to take.

I am also investigating business opportunities online, within this framework.

I am now located in the Netherlands, and am living the expat life on a 100-year-old Dutch barge on the canals of Holland, with my family and rescue dog, Benji!
