Whether your goal is to acquire a professional IT certification, learn a programming language or just need help with a segment of Microsoft Excel function, we can likely assist you.
After understanding your background, we should either provide you with a dedicated trainer or make a referral. Our trainers have years of experience working both in the private as well as the public sector, either directly or as a third-party contractor. Our trainers hold a plethora of professional certifications (with the corresponding upgrades), advanced degrees and were once students too! Both in graduate schools as well in undergraduate institutions.
In either case, the training should be delivered in an extremely student-friendly manner. The use of mnemonics, acronyms, color-coded graphs and focus on specific and high-frequency areas should serve as the principal strategy.
Examples of mnemonics:
Examples of how our trainers can make complicated things easy to remember (“mnemonics”).
Data communications such as in the OSI Model has seven (7) layers:
Application layer
Presentation layer
Session layer
Transport layer
Network layer,
DataLink layer
and
Presentation layer.
The above-mentioned may appear as a lot. But wait, there is good news: an easy way (mnemonic) to remember this complexity can be All People Seem To Need Data Processing! OSI Model stands for Open System Interconnection. The OSI Model WILL get tested on certification exams. Specifically, which processes occur at which layer, which protocols at which layer, etc. You will have to know the specifics of the OSI Model; something our trainers WILL teach you with fun-to-remember mnemonics and plenty of short-cuts.
UDP is an un-reliable protocol. Look at the very first letter “u”
Catalyst 2960 switch has Layer 2 functions. Look at the very first number “2”
Catalyst 3560 switch has Layer 3 functions. Look at the very first number “3”
Routers break up broadcast domains.
Switches break up collision domains.
Okay, let us show you how to remember this so that you don’t mix them up. In the English alphabet, R comes before S. B comes before C. Therefore, R would go with B. S would go with C. Do you see the pattern? We hope this helps. At least, to some extent.

Think IRA. I’m sure you have repeatedly heard of an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). IRA, Roth IRA. So, think IRA. Disclaimer: This is strictly a mnemonic device. There is NO financial planning advice intended or implied.
4 primary learning styles:
How you actually learn (i.e., visual, aural, textual or tactical) will be analyzed. Every iota of your needs should be taken into account. Hence, the use of term iota in the name of the company.
Each engagement may consists of 6-12 staff members led by a Practice Director who serves as the primary point of contact for the client. 1-2 Senior Managers oversee the hands-on day-to-day operations. And finally, staff composition typically includes:
technical Subject Matter Experts (the "SMEs") consisting of programmers and testers. They will code, compile, debug and test using high-precision programming skills.
functional staff comprising of business analysts who will gather requirements, draft documentation (i.e., data-flow diagrams, ER diagrams) and will hold remarkable interpersonal skills to liaise with SMEs as well as end-users.
