Renier has an extensive knowledge of the course, and excellent teaching skills. There is a lot I have learned.

T. Mashilwane

Parsec Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Great presentation and explanation of the core fundamentals of the C++ programming language

N. Moloisane

CSIR Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Thanks – wish we had such a knowledgable person on our team

J. van der Merwe

Telkom Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Material of the course was very challenging. But lecturer has a good ability to detect the level of understanding of the audience. It was a very intense and instructive week. I am very very very satisfied!!!

J. Dass

Concurrent Systems Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
The course was very good & the lecturer (Renier) is great. He knows the course inside out. I wish I could take his C++ mind.

B. Majola

Net 1 Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
I may strongly say that this course has been very helpful for me as it has shown me a lot of things I didn’t know about C++.

C. Nxumalo

Northpark Telecomms Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Dankie!! C++ is baie powerful, dankie vir jou interpretasie en insig. Dit kom slegs met jare se ondervinding.

M. Beukes

Telkom Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
Definitely will recommend this course to friends and colleagues.

S. Maharaj

Denel Dynamics Lecturer: Renier Classroom training
The training was good. It helped that I could ask questions. I appreciated that the code that was shown to us as part of the examples were always compiled, since that shows that it actually works then. Also all the code in the notes and on the whiteboard are appreciated.
