"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.
Olugbenga Gbadegesin: "Excellent delivery" / Lebogang Tswelapele: "This is what I have been longing for" / Paskalia Ndapandula: "Peter speaks with so much clarity" / Amantle Mangwedi: "It was straight to the point and the sections are cut into nice short segments which made it easier to go through" Kathy Bermudez: "Excellent material. Well organized..."
Werner van Wyk: "Thank you Peter, once again your lesson and course have given me so much knowledge and understanding" / Yvonne Rudolph "I really look forward to take everything i learned in action" / Josephine Mahlangu: "exactly what I needed to know, absolutely valuable and helpful for my personal growth"

Very practical and easy-to-follow course for technical interview preparation, covering both technical and behavioral aspects. It really helps build confidence with real-world tips and clear strategies.
By Jennifer Herdzina on 4/3/2023
Several of the videos with Tracy seem to cut off abruptly, it seems like she's going to elaborate on something or is in the middle of saying something and then it's onto the next video.
By Isaac Smith on 3/27/2023
The title and description of the class should be more specific. The target audience is entry level new hires and recent graduates looking for jobs in coding and software. Tracy's general style and delivery is distracting and difficult to listen to for long periods.
By Sarvjeet Singh on 12/22/2022
It was fine but after sometime, things become really repetitive. Video quality, script could be better specially script because it feels like course is unnecessarily stretched. Let me summarize this 1. Don't be late in physical interviews. 2. Check your link, camera, mic in virtual interview. 3. Ask for details, if question was not clear, at the end you can ask 1- 2 questions that make some sense. 4. Don't get too excited or too nervous. Last but not the least Don't be a dumb person. All the best for your interviews.

Overall, I think the course is a valuable and comprehensive guide for technical interview preparation. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get the job they want in the tech field.
By Miles Pixley on 1/18/2022
Very basic and seems to focussed on graduates but was not clear on first glance at course brief.

presenting the syllabus demonstrates organization and domain of the subject. It inspires confidence on the student. Moreover it shows at a glance all the steps and important parts the candidate need to care of in order to succeed in the interview. Congrats and Thank you!
By Joey De Klerk on 11/3/2021
I love the tips in this course and will keep these in mind should I need to apply for a new position. The tips and guidance are a huge help in understanding what is expected during the unsettling environment of an interview. The guidance in this course will assist in being able to answer those tough questions and still conduct myself in a manner that ensures the panel wants me on their team.
By Koketso Dithipe on 10/27/2021
I love this tutorial, it's quite clear you're both versed in this field. I can go through the tutorial without having to pay attention to my screen; I can listen to this course and do some other tasks. The analogies and examples used in the course are very effective and and easy to understand. The abrupt ending combined with different lecturers in the beginning was somewhat confusing but I got used to it a bit later.
