I started my course last year and Feroze was my tutor. I must say the way Feroze teaches in class is outstanding and of no match. I have learn't a lot from him not only about IT infrastructure but how to present things in simple words. I must say he is the best tutor I have ever got so far. Thanks for such an outstanding learning experience Feroze, you are an asset to NZSE.
