meet a few of the pros who make SVC what it is.

If there’s one thing that makes SVC different from other certificate programs, training centers, and boot camps, it’s these folks — and many, many more just like them. They bring their up-to-the-minute industry knowledge, years of experience, and impressive network of connections into every SVC classroom. Consider, too, that many of them are hiring managers, so when you make a good impression on your instructor, you might also be making a good impression on your future boss.

interested in teaching?
We’re interested in talking.

If you’d like to share some of the knowledge you’ve earned along the way, we’d love to chat with you about teaching, mentoring, serving as a TA in an SVC class or workshop. If you’ve never taught before, it’s a great way to improve your presentation skills, get some experience at team management, and give back in a big way to the next generation.
