Hiya Guys,

as you can see I dont post to much, but I do look on lots of forums and do lots of readings, and I really should contribute more, and I will. This leads me onto my question.

I am in the UK, but I dont think its really matters for this question.
Now I dont claim to be some Ubber Guru or anything, but I have been working in Networking and Security for a fair few years now, so I must know something, right?

Anyway I would really like to give something back, and help to develop the professionals of the future. So I am thinking perhaps I can add some value by doing some teaching / lecturing at local college or university to give the students some of my experiance and expertise, and possibly help focus their direction.

I wonder if any of your guys have done something similar, and if so how you went about getting your foot in the door. I am thinking about contacting my old lectures (if they are still there as it was about 11 years ago I was there) and asking them if I could add some value to the lessons.

I am not particularly looking to make some money, I just feel I could help out others, give some real world scenarios, learn from the students, and perhaps put myself under some pressure with the questions they might pose.

So any hints and tips would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys.

And that, my friends, is how it's done!

Awesome news.

The course starts in September, so I am going to meet with some of the tutors, and talk more about my ideas, so I will update more as I go.

Also dont be alarmed if I ask for some suggestions. I think it will be quite a challenge, as some of these people will have little IT experiance, so delivery and detail will be critical. My main aim is to be informative, and have the students have a great time.

We all know there is nothing worse than a boring lecture, or course.
