Overview

Network Engineer, Cisco & Microsoft Instructor

This can be the year to achieve your goals if you are serious about your certs.

If you are determined, ambitious and hungry for a new beginning...then this should be your year

...and how better to start or end the year than to get an IT Certification

Whether you are interested in the CCNA or the CCNP or you just want to understand the key topics for these, taking one or ALL my courses, will get you a lot closer to that goal.

NOW...what you wanted to know about me but were afraid to ask:

If you are tired of the same old methods of learning and want someone that is pretty much unconventional, but at the same time will provide you with an enjoyable learning experience in layman's terms...then please preview my courses and you will discover that I am your guy.

I am a Network Engineer with many years in the field and in the teaching industry.

So, if anyone can get you certified it's me.

My teaching experience stems from teaching at institutions like Palm Beach Community College, New Horizons, Florida Career College (now Anthem College) and The Academy of South Florida not to mention that I also do private consulting.

Here I bring the classroom to you.

Courtesy of the internet, I have been teaching students from all over the world and all walks of life.... thank goodness for technology ;-)

Having been on all sides of the spectrum; as a student, a teacher/trainer, and in the field, I believe this uniquely qualifies me to understand you.

I know firsthand what you have been exposed to as opposed to what you really want to accomplish. These two are sometimes extremely conflicting and frustrating. That is why I teach in the manner I do and can relate to your rejection of the Status Quo.

I have taught corporate employees at MetroPCS (now T-Mobile) and have also taught IT professionals of companies like The Florida Marlins, Ulysse Nardin, Alberta Water Department (Canada), The Assurant Group, Hospital personnel & Attorney's firms, among others, to guide them in acquiring their IT certifications or general knowledge in IT and Networking.

However, my expertise also extends to being able to teach applications as well. YES...I am also an application instructor and qualified to teach Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. This, of course, includes the MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) certification.

But Cisco is my passion ;-)

As you can see, I am a multifaceted person and consider myself to be an eternal student as well.

Remember that I too must keep up with technology since these changes seem to be daily, if not hourly.

I teach in an unconventional way that allows students to understand the subject matter and can, therefore, not only prepare them for a Cisco certification exam but help them apply my methods in the real world.

I strive to give the student a greater opportunity to be able to compete in the current job markets.

Do I go above and beyond what is needed for a certification?...YES, I do...because it's not only about getting a certification, but it's also about making sure that you, the student, are prepared for a job interview and/or maintaining your current job by enhancing your skills.

This is where I step in and make sure that you are prepared for whatever comes your way and make you become an asset to your employer.

Everyone has different requirements and I make sure, or at least I try, to provide information for most scenarios.

My classes and/or courses are very simple and that's how I like to teach. I truly believe in "KISS"...NO, I don't want to kiss you...this means "keep it simple stupid".

If things are kept simple, easily explained in a way that the student can grasp quickly and retain the information...then I have achieved my goal.

For those that do not know me yet, you may not be used to my style of teaching, but you will soon get accustomed to it :)

I'm very laid back, I try to make learning fun and I teach in layman's terms...no physics jargon or mumbo jumbo in my teachings.

My courses are very interactive and extremely dynamic...you will not find my lectures monotone or boring, because falling asleep, for lack of excitement, is just NOT an option and NOT who I am.

I certainly hope that after a careful review of my credentials & testimonials (you can Google me you know) ...and see if I'm the Cisco Instructor you're looking for!
