Cordis is pleased to welcome our latest UK summer student, Sarah Watkin.

Sarah is studying Computer Science at Uni of Hertfordshire, but hails from North London. She's an avid Arsenal supporter, loves music and going to gigs as often as possible. She's keen on programming and keep up with the latest technology as much as possible, whilst also squeezing in as many shopping trips as she can (her words!).

Sarah has done some great work here in the past 2 weeks, and we're excited about what she'll be able to do in her two months with us. Welcome Sarah!

Cordis are very excited to announce we now have two FileMaker 10 certified developers, with Nicolai Kant becoming our second developer to pass the latest exam. Nicolai's pass is another step in Cordis ensuring our large collection of developers are all at the cutting edge of FileMaker development.

Cordis has the largest collection of certified developers in the UK, and we plan to put all our developers through the latest exam. The certification is hugely important for Cordis, from both the developer and customer perspective. Our developers want to ensure that their knowledge is always up to date, and our customers want to be assured that our development is of the highest quality possible. The FileMaker certification process is a great way to achieve this.

Nicolai added, "I am extremely happy to pass the exam. Special thanks to my Cordis team for the help and support. Without the variety of projects and challenges I deal with in my work it would be very difficult to prepare and pass. The experience and knowledge of my colleges, variety of training resources and materials provided by Cordis were a great benefit.

"FileMaker Certification is great for a developer's professional development, and I recommend every FileMaker developer take it."

Cordis are delighted to announce that Ian Jempson, our illustrious Technical Director, has this week passed the FileMaker 10 certification exam with flying colours! Ian is the first Cordis employee to sit the exam, which is an important part of our internal development programme. In fact, Cordis have more certified developers than any other FileMaker developer in the UK, which we think demonstrates our commitment to the process.

Our customers demand the highest standards of quality, and ensuring that our programmers are certified is one way we can live up to these expectations. Certification is equally important to our developers by ensuring they are up to date with the latest FileMaker technologies, as well as being part of a very special development community. The certification process delivers a great return for Cordis on the small investment of time and money.

"I'm pleased to have successfully completed the FileMaker 10 certification process. Having written the certification exam provides an independent verification that my skills are current on the FileMaker product range. Over the next few weeks the rest of the guys will be writing the exam as well. Since FileMaker certification is a key part of the ongoing development of the Cordis business, we're looking forward to all of them doing well." commented Ian.
