Tech Masterclass Aotearoa & Consulting Services
Paua Interface Ltd was established in '91 when hi-tech meant the sound of a dialup modem (oh yes you should click that link if you were born after 1990). The World Wide Web had turned 1 year old and was barely crawling.
Twenty something years later, Paua is a little more grown up with a bunch of exciting projects in the hi-tech sector to inspire.

WHY
A massive 37% of IT projects go over time, over budget, and fail to meet expected goals (PMI). This is often due to limited skills and experience with high-level decisions in organisations – decisions that matter. Small organisations without in-house strategic technology skills are particularly vulnerable (Paua Interface)
SOLUTION
TECH MASTERCLASS AOTEAROATM aims to help small organisations reduce the risk of failure and the subsequent loss of investment, time, credibility and opportunity. The courses will equip them with skills to lead technology projects with more confidence.
It's Industry training - it's quick, no fluff or padded out courses - and is directly relevant to real-life industry technology decisions and projects that organisations face every day

I can't wait to help you achieve your information technology goals so you can make a big difference in your organisations. On one hand, I don't think it's rocket-science and it doesn't have to be a 4-year degree and a huge student loan. But on the other hand, it does take eagle-eyed focus and discipline - and a series of well-considered industry-led short courses might be just the thing!
