"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"

This course is packed with valuable information - I would recommend it to anyone wishing to solidify their interviewing skills. Unfortunately, the critiques about packaging (repetition of material, some poor editing and audio quality) are valid. The course is still excellent, and if the course creators were to address the issues, I'd give it 5 stars.
By Tanya Du Plessis on 9/3/2024
The overall content is applicable for someone who is new to technical interviewing. The first part was helpful and gave some ideas. The video and sound quality in the last few sections can be improved and the information can be condensed. The advertisements for the other courses are a bit distracting.
By Robin Gochenour on 7/10/2023
I enjoyed the course and was able to pick up some excellent pointers. However, sections 6-8 while providing good information, was difficult to follow due to the poor quality of the videos.
By Anonymized User on 5/11/2023
Most of the content was helpful. The first sections of the program were insightful, well spoken, and points were explained thoroughly without dragging - great job! I feel like the end section(s) were redundant but I appreciate the speakers driving their points home
By Denise Rios on 3/29/2023
It was great content....all the presenters were concise and gave good examples....it was thorough and gave me great insights for my future interviews with my Engineering Candidates.

The content was good overall but the video quality from the female panel member was extremely poor which led to disruptions all the time. Hope this can be worked on. Thanks.
By Daryna Soroka on 1/9/2023
It's incredible. It's very useful and it will help me to conduct interviews effectively.
