None of our trainers are rocket scientists.  We are people who use Mambo and Joomla on a daily basis to produce websites. We try not speak in techno jargon - always trying to speak in ordinary non-technical language just like you. Of course we will translate techno-babble as required and introduce some terms to you so that you have a better chance of understanding them when you see such terms in other people's documentation.

Dean is our lead trainer. Dean wrote many of our User Guides and has contributed to many Joomla FAQs and explanations and has worked for some of the largest template companies operating within the Joomla and Mambo landscape. There are very few people more recognised throughout these communities.  Rest assured - you are in good hands.
