Meet Mark Farragher
Hi, I’m Mark Farragher and I am pleased to meet you!
I love training. I started back in 2005 and now have over 16 years of hands-on experience teaching Microsoft courseware and my own bespoke trainings.
I am a Certified Microsoft Trainer and can provide almost any training from the Microsoft official courseware catalog. I feel equally at home in a classroom setting and in an online Teams or Zoom environment. I often partner with local and international training agencies to share my extensive knowledge with a global audience.
I am very good at reducing complex subjects to clear and concise explanations that everyone in my classroom can understand. My Data Engineering and Machine Learning courses are well-known for their clarity and accessibility.
I am based in The Netherlands and can provide online, on-site and hybrid trainings in English, Dutch or German.

THIS IS what my students are saying about me
“Mark’s training has been an eye-opening experience for me. I never thought of building machine learning apps in just a few days! With the techniques that I learned, I built an object detector prototype for my work in just 2 days! I thought that would take months to complete.”
Huan Yong
AI Self-Paced Student
“Mark makes difficult topics very clear and gives explanations until you totally get it. The structure and pace of his trainings are excellent. Mark kept our utmost attention from early morning until the end of the day. And he was more than willing to answer our questions.”
Cindy Castricum
Azure Team Student
“Mark is een kei van een trainer die de meest ingewikkelde zaken kan uitleggen alsof het heel simpel is. Zijn nuchterheid is verfrissend en geeft vertrouwen. Zelfs aan het einde van een lange trainingsdag krijgt hij het voor elkaar dat je nog steeds geboeid zit te luisteren.”
Elles de Koning
Azure Team Student
“Mark’s courses are a great way to springboard your career. You will be challenged and thrilled as you work with machine learning code and watch your app do things that we could only dream of doing just a few decades ago.”

“Mark is met met recht een geweldige leraar! De lessen die ik van hem kreeg waren virtueel, maar de waarde was niet minder dan dat het in real life zou zijn. Ik heb de lessen als zeer gestructureerd, ontspannen en prettig ervaren.”
