Bio
Nick Bryan
Andy is an excellent presenter, making what could be perceived as a 'dry' subject, very interesting. When it comes to telecommunications technology, Andy certainly knows his stuff and his depth of experience in the industry becomes very apparent when you attend one of his courses. If you are faced with a choice between companies that deliver training, having Andy as the presenter tips the scales well in favour of CommLearning.

After completeing the formal 3 year apprenticeship, I specialized in Data Communications and worked with the Installation and maintenance team for customer equipment. This ranged from Modems to complex multiplexor networks and warranted a whole suite of training to keep up to date. At the same time, I attended a further 2 years at college to gain my BTEC HNC in Electronics and Telecommunications.
