As a Principal Technologist at QA-IQ, David believes it is an important part of his role to promote excellence in both technical skills and to his fellow instructors; "I'm delighted to be a finalist for this award as I think it will be an opportunity to explore further the skills that provide a strong learning experience for our customers. I think it's essential that today's instructors have a thorough understanding of not only the technical skills required, but also the business environment in which they are practiced."

As training evolves to meet the technology needs of customers, David is a prototype for the IT trainer of the future."
