Tim Finch At some point in the dim and distant past, Tim was a Physics/Chemistry teacher. Several jobs later and Tim started his Computing life as a Computer Scientist, writing in Prolog, Lisp and other wonderfully obscure languages. He is now found at Quanta as one of our trainers specialising in Visual Studio, ASP.NET, C#, JavaScript and other such web technologies, as well as Unix and PRINCE2. Tim is married with 2 beautiful daughters and they live in a flat in a converted Georgian mansion deep in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside. Tim also plays guitar and sings in not one but 3 bands, Rip it Off the Wall, Little Blood and The Hidden Skas! |

Tim O'Connor Tim has worked in the IT training industry for many (many) years now. Starting out he specialised in Windows based operating systems and networking, particularly Cisco products gaining qualifications such as MCSE, MCT and CCNP. Since then Tim has moved into the Project and Programme Management arena, training PRINCE2, APMP, MSP and basically anything else PPM based we feel like throwing at him. He can still be seen though carrying an extension lead around the offices (a tell tale sign he is teaching a technical course) when he is teaching CISCO. |

Recently Toby has become a PRINCE2 Practitioner and qualified trainer. He is also MCSE and A+ certified, a Microsoft Certified Trainer and a Member of the Institute of IT Trainers.
If you are on one of his courses watch out for his “Joke of the Day” they are often commented on by delegates, are they good or bad? We’ll let you decide! In his spare time Toby rides his motorbike and enjoys spending time with his cat. |
