What others say

Excellent course and materials. Lecturer was very knowledgeable about Java & Spring

S. Ojo

Qualica Technologies Lecturer: Lewis
Excellent course. Learned more in 1 course than 1 and 1/2 years work

D. de Wet

North-West University Lecturer: Lewis
Very useful. Learned a lot. Very happy with level of detail covered.

D. Cronje

OpenCollab Lecturer: Lewis
Brilliant refresher course, helped me to solidify my existing knowledge of Spring as well as other software principles.

Z. Mathebula

First National Bank (FNB) Lecturer: Lewis
Lewis Coosner is by far the best lecturer I’ve come across (compared to my degree, honours, and other training for certs). Hoping to have him again in preperation for OCP, and furthering knowledge into Spring. He is excellent in how he teaches so clearly.

S. Gandilall

First National Bank (FNB) Lecturer: Lewis
Definitely got the most out of the course in the time allocated

D. Samuel

Standard Bank of South Africa (SBSA) Lecturer: Lewis
Excellent! Thank you, will definitely come for the refresher course.

P. Kritzinger

Trustlink AG Lecturer: Lewis
Very good exposure to Spring AOP – Thank you Lewis. Examples are clear and easy to follow and understand. I’m leaving with a much greater understanding of the framework.

D. Keyser

First National Bank (FNB) Lecturer: Lewis
Really interesting. Have learnt a lot. Very impressed by knowledge that Lewis has
