			<h2>My Story</h2>		
		<p>My Interest in computer training began when training shortly after traveling to Malawi as a backpacker so to speak. I am originally from Johannesburg South Africa where I started working as Software Specialist</p><p>installing and supporting Lotus Notes and CC Mail, it was the rage back then.</p><p>When I arrived in Malawi, I ran out of money very quickly, so to support myself I offered to do some computer training for Businesses in Blantyre. After meeting and marrying my wife Amanda, we relocated to a town in South Africa called Knysna, where I again offered services in Computer Training and Support.</p><p>After moving to Australia, we lived in Sydney and for a few years, I worked in Sales and Marketing Roles, but several years later decided to resume my passion for helping others through training and coaching. I gained my Microsoft Specialist certifications as well, the Trainers and Assessors Cert 4. </p><p>I began working for the then largest training provider New Horizons as an Microsoft Applications Trainer specifically in Excel, Excel VBA, Access, Access VBA and MS Project as I had a skills in Database Development and Support.</p><p>After a few years of training full time, I went out on my own as a training consultant for several training companies, which I worked for over the last several years.</p><p>I started FlexiCoach to provide a more flexible methodology to education, This allowed students to better gain and retain skills needed for their work, course also include REPLAY anytime E-Learning Resources, and post course helpdesk. This has proved to be very successful.</p>
