Instructors

Hamza Serradj
Instructor, Technology

Teaching is more than a profession to me; it’s a way of contributing to the future of my students. I find immense satisfaction in seeing my students grasp challenging concepts and apply them in practical scenarios. I hold a degree in technical support and a networking certificate, which laid the foundation for my teaching career.

Outside of teaching, I’m passionate about exploring new technology trends. My goal is to inspire students with the same enthusiasm I have for the ever-evolving world of technology.

Maqbool Azam
Instructor, Computer Networking Technology / Cybersecurity

I have been working in the IT industry since 1990 and have worked in multiple countries. In IT, you are learning new skills every day. IT is shaping and future of this world and it is a privilege to be part of this transformation. I have a master’s in computer science and ITIL Certification.

I like to gain knowledge from reading, TV,  and social media. I also like to play cricket. Knowledge is useless if it is not transferred to others, and that’s what drives me to teach.
