Testimonials

I've been a participant on many training courses, and many of them, especially technical training courses can be really boring. Courses with Dana are anything but boring. She's vibrant, energetic and manages to bring even the most dull content to life. In April Dana taught the Certified Information Systems Manager (CISM) Revision course held internally for employees of Deloitte. I was dreading the course and thought the time could be better spent on self-study. However, Dana managed to make the course one of the most engaging and interactive revision courses I have ever attended. Her energy was contagious and she was invested in our success. The session really helped me prepare for the exam which I ultimately successfully passed.

Wow... what an experience. I had an amazing 2 days on the Emergn VFQ training which was led by Dana. Dana's ability and energy coupled with her knowledge was second to none. Probably the best trainer in the world!

With subject matter like software testing, it is very easy to get lost in the mundane but I was in awe at the way Dana breathed life into this otherwise humdrum topic. Dana is a go-getter. She believes that anyone is capable of perfection and makes it her goal to ensure that that person is given the support and training they need. Dana's technical skill and ability to relate technical content in a manner suitable for the learner is truly a skill worth recognising. She uses storytelling in the classroom, relating her software testing experiences of developers who have fallen foul of her well-honed and meticulous eye for detail. She is definitely one of those people who will tell you what you need to know, demonstrate how you can use it and test you to make sure you have understood it all.

I cannot recommend Dana highly enough. Dana's enthusiasm and obvious expertise in the topic meant that the initial two days flew by. We managed to fit in a large amount of content, and the follow up sessions were instrumental in ensuring that this content was consolidated and expanded upon. Dana constantly challenged us to engage with the course and also to put into practice what we were studying, to prepare us for when the course ended. Professionally, the eight weeks were an extremely valuable in-depth introduction to agile, and personally Dana was a joy to be taught by. I only wish that we had not had to end after eight weeks!

Dana has tutored for one of my university level classes for the last 9 years. She is an amazing tutor and invests so much in helping students "get" the topic. She is enthusiastic and her students respond well to this enthusiasm. I have told her over the years that she should return to the classroom (real or virtual) because it's obvious that she is passionate about it. To students who may take a class with her: You may not realize how lucky you are at the start of the term but by the end of the term you definitely will.
