This month we would like you to meet Piter Harb. Piter is based out of London, England and is our Predictive Analytics with AutoML guru!

1.  How long have you been with Qlik?

Since May 2022, so coming up on three years now!

2.  How did you become an instructor?

During my new hire internal training in a previous role some seven years ago, I asked the trainer if I could get up and try my hand at delivering a part of the course, just because it looked so fun. Two years later when this trainer left her post, she recommended me as her replacement, and I haven’t looked back since.

3.  What do you love about teaching Qlik courses?

I love the software for a start. It’s very visually appealing. I love the variety of courses that we offer, and the fact that some of them are challenging enough to keep even the most technical students on their toes. Finally, I love that I can contribute towards course development and improvement.

4.  How has the new platform helped you in leading your courses?

The new platform is a breeze to navigate and use. Everything feels well-organized and it is very easy for me and my students to find our courses.

5.  What are your favorite features on the new platform?

I love how easily I can see and sign up to events such as live instructor webinars, and how easily I can find courses (self-paced or otherwise) on any feature I can think of.

{See Qlik Community Post for more information}

6.  What is your favorite course to teach?

Predictive Analytics with Qlik AutoML. Not because I developed it, but because of its AI and Machine Learning content (which is very hot right now), including the variety of practical use cases with sample data from different industries. It might only be a 1-day course, but by the end of that day, business users will be able to predict future business outcomes and change them!

We hope you'll be on the lookout for one of Piter's Live Instructor Webinars and register to attend. We know you'll be in for an amazing experience!

Happy Learning!
