Dave Bremer’s Summary
I am a lecturer (teacher & trainer) in a polytechnic (think of "College" with Bachelor 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 programmes aimed at training junior technician's called the "Certificate in IT Service & Support" and a smaller certificate aimed at developing skills to the level of being able to handle the first level of technical issues called the "Certificate in Computer Maintenance".
Dave Bremer’s Specialties:
Networks (to CCNA level)
IT Service Management (focus on service support)
