CEO and Principal of the Cyber Academy college. In addition i lecture on most undergraduate courses and subjects at the Institution. I was a member of the IMIS Council which was a directorship position at IMIS UK before IMIS was absolved by the British Computer Society BCS. Cyber Academy runs the NCC course in Computer Science with a Cyber Security variant also being rolled out. We also teach the University of Greenwich BSc in Computer Systems and Networking as well and my positions are insightful to both Institutions. Students completing the NCC Higher Diploma can progress to the one year top up level to complete with a University of Greenwich BSc Honours degree or a BSc from the University of Central Lancashire through the NCC route. In addition i am Fellow of the British Royal Society for Arts,Manufactures and Commerce(FRSA) and i am a Fellow of the Institute for the Management of Information Systems(FIMIS) Show less

I Have helped to set up new teaching centres in the region such as Trust Academy in Zimbabwe and more centres in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Botswana,Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.

The BCS offers a framework that all British Honours degrees in Computer Science and Computing Engineering adhere to. Equivalence management and accreditation management in East and Southern Africa are my key roles. Joint research between Africa and the West is also underway in ICTs such as Cyber Security and forensics Show less
