Over the years I have been involved in a lot of professional development, training and presentations, on both sides of the lectern. I have also presented professional training courses for CAVAL at LaTrobe University over a long period that saw me travel to Singapore, New Zealand and most of Australia.
I look back at my time at CAVAL with great fondness and I truly mourn the fact that I cannot be involved as much as I would like to be any more. My wife was diagnosed with cancer and that severely limited my availability for a short period of time. The CAVAL programme is great and the people are even better.
I have also travelled to other countries and cities for commercial organisations. I guess professional presenting is a real love, and I want more. Don’t get me wrong, I still get in front of audiences pretty regularly, but CAVAL was an organisation I loved being involved with.
But happily my circumstances have changed. I have been invited to get involved in wwwtraining, who describe themselves as: “on demand web training” and “web tutoring & hands-on help”. I will be helping to develop their courses and at the moment their materials include:
- Tutor lead
- Self-paced learning
While some of these courses already include areas of my expertise, I hope to add things like web accessibility, technical project management and others.
Oh, if there is anyone out there looking for a skilled presenter and trainer, let me know!
