Hello! I am Akila Handagiri, I am a graduate of Computer Network Technology from Ratmalana University of Vocational Technology. I am currently working as a Systems-Engineer in a well-known company in Colombo.

I have 6 years of experience as an ICT instructor and 8 years of industry experience. I will be doing ICT classes for beginners and adult students via online Zoom or at-home visits.
Im especially focused on adult students who are employed in the government or public sector.

In addition, I also offer practice papers and exercises to help students get familiar with the types of questions they will face in their workplaces. This helps them feel more confident in managing their workplace.
