A little about Thor Pedersen

Why I do what I do (training):
I think it is all founded in my passion for learning and my need to help and empower others. It is the driving forces behind my work.

How it started:
It all started with a Commodore 64 at age 13, I bought for programming and gaming, that ignited my love for technology and gaming that continues to this day.
Gaming has remained a big part of my life; I even met my wife through a game (EverQuest) 25 years ago, and I still game today.

My background:
With my need to keep learning and help others, I have spent the last 25+ years working in many/most aspects of IT, information security, project management, and training.

How it is going:
In my career I kept getting asked to train my team, other teams, and clients, because I was good at what I did, I enjoyed teaching. I finally took the hint and started teaching full-time.
Now my best-selling CISSP, CISM, CC, and PMP courses have over 630,000 enrollments from 201 countries, creating an amazing community of learners. With more than 82,000 reviews and students having watched over 3,100,000 hours of my training videos, the global impact is amazing.

My approach:
By combining my diverse experience with a lifelong commitment to learning, I have, what I think is, an excellent teaching approach.
That allows me to develop comprehensive and engaging courses that not only provide valuable knowledge but also ignite a sense of excitement and motivation in students globally.
My style is based on practicality and precision. I focus on teaching you exactly what you need to know without unnecessary fluff or padding.
I use real-life examples and personal anecdotes from my extensive career. This not only makes the learning process more engaging but also helps clarify complex concepts and solidify understanding.
