Im neuen Jahr wieder für euch da


"Ayub! WoW,

You are truly one of the greatest storytellers and coaches I have had the pleasure of knowing so far!

Thank you very much for today; your passion was palpable in every single second of your IT coaching.

There was absolutely no one in the meeting who wasn't captivated by your presentation, not even for 2 seconds. The way you make IT understandable, combined with the interactive nature of your talk, made this day a true delight. 😊

It is more than an honor for me to dedicate this post to you on my platform. Because I am blown away!

Dear community! Do you have no clue about IT? Do you want to understand the connections for your business? Do you want to impart understanding of this matter to your people?

Call Ayub; after this training, even the last person will know how to comprehend the connections!

Thank you for your time, thank you for your passion!

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it! 🙏

For the first time, I can say I am happy that a training lasts for 2 days, and I am incredibly excited about tomorrow!

I had the pleasure of attending the IT Masterclass over the course of two days. He has a excellent, very structured approach to how a recruiter should look on an IT Department and what knowledge we need (and don't). Highly charismatic, High-energy kind of personality that showcases why IT is so exciting. He mixes the more dry content with a lot of storytelling to keep people interested. I was especially impressed how he managed to engage a class of people with varying knowledge (ranging from 1 Month in Tech/Tech-Recruitment up to 4 years). Left the course much smarter than before, which I'd say counts as mission accomplished. Would and will recommend!

Attended his 2 day IT masterclass course. A breath of fresh air when it came down to his training method. I learnt more in 2 days with Ayub than I did in 3 months at University.

Passionate, insightful and charismatic. I came out of his course more motivated than ever. Highly recommend!

Ayub made a highly technical course appealing, engaging, and incredibly informative. Packed full of useful information, amazing facts, and funny stories, I feel like I’ve come out of it ready to do my best in IT recruitment. Can not recommend enough, I feel like I’ve packed a degree into 2 days! Thanks Ayub and hope to see you again.

I want to say a massive thank you to Ayub Shaikh for a phenomenal 2 days MASTERCLASS across the Technology industry in our Hays Birmingham office. I have come away not just learning and understanding all roles, what they do and responsibilities, pay etc, but also learning even more about development and how these languages get used across all the major companies. Not many people know that I’m a developer outside of work but coming from a technical mindset Ayub has just blown my mind and made me think in a whole, completely different way - I would recommend him very highly to any organisation however small or large!!!

Image

Ayub is a gifted trainer. I can only truly recommend his training course. Thanks to his interactive way of teaching and his great personality, my two days training turn out to be really captivating. He is a great story-teller who takes his students in the IT fairytales world. I was able to learn so much and to feel much more confident, that I can just say thank you very much!

Ayub makes training ACTUALLY interesting. When you reach a point on a training day where you need a break, well I did not find that point for the whole two days of training. The structure, the material and the passion of Ayub makes training rememberable - and that is what training is all about!

If any company ever asks me to recommend a training provider I will only have one person/company in mind.

The training provided by Ayub is what training in IT for recruiters should be all about. From my point of view, he clearly sets the standards in terms of the quality and the efficiency with which he delivers the information to his audience.

I recommend his services in the highest regards.

I had several IT recruitment trainings with Ayub and those have been the best trainings I have participated in till now.

He makes complicated terminology and technical jargon really understandable topics.

Ayub uses very innovative methods and theories which I implement to reach my targets in my professional as well as private life.
