March 4, 2012

ITIL V3 Certification Passrates close to 100%

November 29, 2011

We don’t get the feedback on how they performed (apart from a select few who send [...]

My personal motto is “every day is a school day” and I always feel sad and disappointed when I meet people who clearly don’t want to learn anymore. Last Wednesday I met one of those people again, and 3 days later I still think about the discussion we had. (or rather: didn’t have) This is [...]
