Dave Bremer’s Summary
I am currently working as a lecturer (teacher & trainer) in a polytechnic (think of "College" with degrees). For a few years I've focused almost exclusively on networking, e.g. teaching CCNA. Over the last two years I've broadened into teaching A+ material along with several Microsoft flavored OS courses and IT Service Management (ITIL). I manage a programme aimed at training junior technician's called the Certificate in IT Service & Support".
Dave Bremer’s Specialties:
Networks (to CCNA level)
ITIL Foundation

Systems Administrator
Otago Polytechnic
(Educational Institution; 501-1000 employees; Education Management industry)
October 1997 — July 2001 (3 years 10 months)
More PC support and "client management" than systems administrator. But that was the title on the pay sheet
-
Project Manager
Healthcare Otago
(Government Agency; 501-1000 employees; Hospital & Health Care industry)
November 1996 — October 1997 (1 year)
Death march project to implement a new pathology database. Not fun, not fun at all. But boy do I now have a healthy respect for Project Managers

Account Manager / Systems Administrator
Healthcare Otago
(Government Agency; 501-1000 employees; Hospital & Health Care industry)
December 1995 — November 1996 (1 year)
Looking after a pathology database which ran on a PICK system (on top of Digital Unix). It was really interesting, and taught me the value of using standard relational databases. PICK worked fine - but you just find someone who can work in it!
