Lorna is well-known in the PHP community, not just locally but also nationally and internationally, speaking at many of the events in Europe and beyond. Lorna will bring her technical expertise as a developer to the role of PHP trainer, and our clients tell us that it’s that combination of professional practice, and training ability that makes our trainers, and as a result, our training, really special.
