Bio
Timo Farla
I had the privilege of being a student of drs. Marcel Feenstra for the CISA exam, and I can say that he is an exceptional teacher. Marcel has the remarkable ability to make challenging topics understandable through effective use of examples. His thorough explanations and willingness to address questions create a supportive learning environment. Marcel's passion for the topics he explains are evident, and I wished there were more teachers like him. Lastly, he is a pleasant person to be around both inside and outside of the classroom.
Andrew Richardson
I found drs. Marcel's teaching excellent. I undertook an intensive 5 day CISM course and it was immediately apparent drs. Marcel was very experienced as he was able to break down complicated areas into manageable "chunks" using real-world scenario's. Questions were encouraged so that I (and my colleagues) could fully understand the areas under discussion which resulted in me having sufficient confidence to take and pass the final exam. I would highly recommend drs. Marcel as a teacher.
