INCUS DATA (PTY) LTD
Software Development in Pretoria

Incus Data has been training programmers since 1988, and has had some form of SETA accreditation since This focus enables us to concentrate our resources: considerable time and money is spent on the research needed to ensure that our course material is up-to-date and in line with international trends and standards. We have three well-equipped lecture rooms in Centurion, Pretoria, but we also provide in-house training anywhere in the country. Courses can be customised to meet the requirements of the client. In addition to training, Incus Data provides consulting services with regard to software and web development, code auditing, coding standards, documentation development and project management. These different areas complement one another: research for courses results in improved development skills, and the development of real world software in turn guards against the danger of courses becoming too academic in nature. His dedication is reflected in the rest of the Incus Data team: a team committed to excellent service and superior training. The vision of a craftsman plying his trade on an anvil to create tools with both practical uses and aesthetic value inspired us. Incus is also the name of one of the three small bones inside the middle ear, which act to transmit sound. Clear and effective communication is essential for the transfer of knowledge during training. Our anvil man reminds us that training requires skill, and must be aimed at delivering practical knowledge. Exceptional services require exceptional staff: people who care about meeting your needs and ensuring you have the best possible training experience. Exceptional training requires exceptional lecturers: people who have in-depth knowledge, practical experience and the ability to convey that knowledge with enthusiasm. Remember how much difference a great teacher made to your understanding and enjoyment of a subject at school? We know that a great lecturer is the most important component of a course. Unlike most training companies, all our lecturers are full-time staff: people with a vested interest in the quality of the training we offer. Renier is the founder and Managing Director of Incus Data. He has been programming in C since the early 1980s, and teaching it since He has developed systems ranging from business and financial systems to computer-aided manufacturing and embedded systems. Jacqui is responsible for all things business-related. After practicing law for a number of years, Jacqui moved into the IT world and discovered a particular fondness for XML. In addition to developing and presenting the XML and web development courses, Jacqui has taken on diverse projects as project manager over the past 15 years. An electrical engineer by profession, Lewis has been involved in software development since the 1980s. Lewis is primarily responsible for developing and presenting the Java and OO-related courses, and was one of the first two Java lecturers in the country to be certified by Sun Microsystems. In his free time, Lewis cycles, kayaks, hikes, caves, climbs and generally exhausts himself. Charles started his professional life in stage and production management, but discovered that bits and bytes were more interesting. As our other techno-geek, Charles spends his free time gaming, playing with software and listening to strange music.
