Training Success Stories

"I'm a senior software engineer whose main languages are TypeScript and Python. I recently joined a new team that's very Java-heavy, and I spent a long time trying to find something that was the right skill level for me to learn Java. Everything I found seemed too basic and was explaining things like the concepts of variables, or assumed too much knowledge and was too difficult. I'm so pleased to have found Actlea; it was precisely what I needed to get up to speed. Andreas was great and found an excellent balance of explaining the language-specific features while assuming some prior knowledge. If you're already familiar with one or more languages and need to get up to speed quickly in Java, this is the course you're looking for. The cadence and pacing of the class is perfect, engaging, and thorough, and I have the tools I need now to delve deeper into this language and make an impact on my team. Thanks, Andreas, for putting this together!"

"My name is Rabia and I participated in the Java Developer course with Andreas starting January 2022 after 20 years in the banking and finance industry. Previously had no experience whatsoever in the IT world, but chose the track with the digitization the world is going through. The course was incredibly broad & intensive and gave a good overview. When the course was over, I was hired by Capgemini as a junior developer. During the course I probably complained many times about how much information it presented, but I have benefited greatly from everything I have been taught. I continue to learn every day but have an understanding that still amazes me when I realize how much I brought with me. Thanks Andreas for everything! The course has given me the opportunity to pursue a new career in a new industry that I love. The change has given me new energy and opened up new doors. I am so grateful!"

"Andreas is a very positive and easy-going individual, but above all a fantastic educator. His teaching method and structure is adapted for everyone from beginners to experienced participants. Quick to provide personal assistance, called up on video chat and took his time. I appreciated all the Java days, I am so satisfied and grateful with the foundation I got with me. Strongly recommend. Rating 5 out of 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Above all, I appreciated that he both gave me space to explore solutions myself and think creatively, while he was always there to contribute his support. I highly recommend Andreas!"

"In all my years at school, I have never met a teacher who treated his students with as much patience and joy as Andreas did. His commitment to us felt very genuine, and it was clear that he was the right person in the right place. I am very glad we had him as a teacher during our 12 weeks at Brights."

"As one of Andreas's former Java students who landed a job in the field after graduation, I can attest to the fact that he's an inspiring and knowledgeable teacher. Andreas is an expert in his field, always joyful and optimistic, and great at feedback. With his fast-paced teaching style, he will keep you on your toes and ensure that you're always engaged in the learning process (Believe me!! 😉). Not only is Andreas a fast speed educator, but he's also eager to adapt his way of educating so that it's universal to all students. He understands that everyone learns differently and is always looking for ways to make the material accessible to all learners 👍. Andreas is also committed to making sure that you get to know a little bit of everything in the world of Java. His comprehensive approach ensures that you'll gain a broad understanding of the subject, from the basics to more advanced concepts."

"The Java program at Academic Work was excellent! It consisted of, given the name, mostly programming in Java, but also had some front-end courses. I thought the Java courses were the best. Not only because I was most interested in java, but also because the teacher in the java courses was Andreas. It's easy for it to get messy and "too much" when learning programming, especially for those starting from scratch, but Andreas taught in a very pedagogical way, and it never became long-winded or boring. Recommends the java program at Academic Work to anyone who wants to learn programming and wants to change careers."

"I had the honor of having Andreas as a teacher during a 12 week Java program for Brights. During these weeks we learned the basics of Java but also more advanced Java. Would really recommend Andreas for the great competence he possesses but also for his patience. He always answered the questions that we students had and was very patient when required. Andreas always has a smile on his face and he is passionate about teaching, which you can clearly see. I always felt safe talking to Andreas when I needed help and he was always there to support. He is simply one of the best teachers I have ever had!"

"I learned a lot on Andreas course! He is helpful and educational and I appreciated how he could easily point me in the right direction on projects when I got stuck, without giving the whole "answer". It did a lot for my problem solving skills and I got better at debugging the code during the course. I also appreciated that he was always positive and supportive in learning! Thanks Andreas!"

"I attended a training in Java development that Andreas held, we were a group of 20 people who mostly participated online. Andreas took the time to guide and help all participants at their level. For those who completed quickly there were more difficult tasks, and for those who needed more time there was more support to be had. Andreas is very educational and gave me, in addition to the knowledge I now possess, many wonderful memories and laughter!"

"Andreas is a very good teacher who has all the expertise and methodology to teach java to a beginner. The course content is solid, up-to-date and the program structure is easy to follow.

"Andreas is an educational and responsive teacher who makes learning Java fun. He has an ability to adapt his explanations to different levels of knowledge, which means that even complicated programming concepts can be understood. He takes the time to answer questions and give feedback and is always as engaged and concerned about creating a positive learning environment."

"Throughout the training, Andreas was endlessly positive in his dealings with all the consultants he trained. There is an enormous amount of information that you need to consume during an Accelerated Learning program, which can easily lead to frustration. Having a competent and experienced teacher in Andreas, who can both teach the modules in an efficient and fun way, as well as constantly be positive and encouraging throughout the process, undeniably eased the weight on everyone's shoulders."

"During the 12-week intensive training in Java at Academy, Andreas trained me primarily in Spring Boot and the connection between databases and web applications via JDBC and JPA. Andreas showed advanced competence in the field, patience and good teaching ability."

"One of the things I appreciated about Andreas as a teacher was the ability to meet everyone at their level in a permissive and understanding way. Whether it concerned questions that were far beyond what we were talking about right now or things that we had already talked about before, there were no questions that felt stupid, but we participants were seen as intelligent, thinking people who have the capacity to filter the information ourselves. That respect for us and our journey meant a lot to me and I think it was a big part of why the training worked so well."

"Andreas is a knowledgeable, patient and pedagogical teacher with a fantastic ability to meet all students individually. In addition, with an incredible enthusiasm and optimism that rubs off on the whole group!"

"What makes Andreas such a good teacher is that his understanding of the subject is so clearly visible. If you ask a question that only scratches the surface of a problem, you can be sure that you will get an answer where Andreas makes sure that you not only understand the short answer, but also a developing answer where he explains why it works this way and what the underlying structure of this is. Andreas has a way of breaking down even more complex problems into more manageable pieces for us students."

"I attended a 12-week training in Java where I had Andreas as a teacher most of the time. He has a very good and pedagogical way of teaching that made it easy to understand, even for someone like me who had no prior knowledge of Java, I had no problems following the presentations. In addition to a good teaching method, Andreas is a nice person and easy to communicate with, which made it very easy for us students to ask for help or give feedback during the course. This made the class always have a pleasant atmosphere and I always looked forward to the next day throughout the course."

"Andreas is a knowledgeable and pragmatic teacher who with a good mood shares knowledge that feels relevant to working life with a high level of competence."

"Andrea's way of teaching is what you expect from a teacher. Even though we went through an Accelerated Learning program, which means that a good amount of information has to be taught in a short period of time. Andreas was able to deliver this quickly and despite the short time, the quality of the teaching is not lost. You get really good information of Java and how it works. I never thought I could create an OOP program after just under 3 weeks but we did it 😅 Incredibly grateful for his training, highly recommended."

"Andreas training days were the highlight of the entire training. He is an incredibly competent and pedagogical teacher with great patience. The arrangement of theory and practical work was well structured and balanced, which made one's own learning and development areas clear.

This made learning efficient and enabled me as a student to absorb a large amount of information and leave the course with new experiences and skills."

"I graduated in the Java program at Academic Work and have Andreas to thank in large part for that. His way of teaching is in many ways pedagogical and he is also incredibly enthusiastic as a teacher, but his best quality is that he manages to make learning fun!"

"Andreas really has an educational way of explaining OOP. During my time as a student, I appreciated the concrete examples given during class time and how Andreas took the time to answer my questions if I did not understand certain concepts. Without his well-prepared lessons, assignments and easy access as a teacher, I don't think I would have made it through the intensive training."

"With my previous experience as a product owner, I wanted to take the step to retrain myself and become a programmer. The assignment fell on Andreas during an incredibly rewarding 12-week course focusing on Java. I began from scratch as I have never programmed before. After completing the course, I feel confident in being able to take on work as a Java developer."

"I thought it would be almost impossible to learn everything that was going to be covered in the three months we had. But Andreas broke it all down and explained in such a way that you understood and adjusted the pace of the training while making sure that all subjects were covered. It is obvious that he has a lot of knowledge and enjoys teaching."
