"I highly recommend the Developer Relations Masters Certified course. It truly represents the ‘voice of the Developer’ and demonstrates a deep empathy for subject matter experts, both for individual contributors and for those with purchasing authority. Earning this certification has enriched my communication with Tech Enablers within businesses by emphasising the importance of business value alongside marketing and event strategies. The course has reinforced my ability to craft solid business cases for targeted campaigns and events, always keeping the Developer’s interests at the core."

Daniel Woolfson

Senior Engineering Manager

"Having spent nearly a decade in Developer Relations across major tech companies including Google, Meta, Microsoft,, and AWS, I found this course to be an excellent refresher on building developer-focused programs and content. 

Katie’s presentation style was particularly engaging, incorporating well-placed humor and relevant analogies that enhanced the learning experience. 

The course thoroughly covered foundational concepts while providing extensive supplementary resources for deeper exploration. The comprehensive approach and engaging delivery made this a valuable learning experience, even for someone with extensive industry experience."
