"What an amazing course! After finishing this course, I have confidence. Thank so much Dr Peter Alkema" ... "This is exactly the jump-start I needed. Very clear and concise"

I lead Digital Transformation & Architecture at ABB and I've been featured on CNBC Africa and won the Gartner CIO Of The Year in 2016. I founded and led the largest banking hackathon in South Africa which was published in 2019 as a case study by Harvard Business School.

I've taught over 100,000 students about technology, business, academics and self-development. In 2020 I completed my PhD at Wits University In Johannesburg. The study introduced a ground-breaking theory of Agile software development teams. My woodworking book was published in 2014 and has sold over 10,000 copies.

I’m enjoying this course

By Mark Polevnick on 10/1/2022

2 things about Mike, not only is he Adobe accredited but also an excellent teacher. Due to his style of teaching, I remember the techniques that he teaches and integrate these techniques into my editing workflow. I mostly find other trainers tend to show off their skills, whereas Mike teaches.

By Tshepiso Letta Radebe on 8/31/2022
