Richard Barry
Meet Richard Barry — the dynamic educator and innovator from Potchefstroom who's turning IT education into an artform.
By day, he leads the charge at IT Certification Academy (ITCA), crafting career-launching programs and certifications that mix tech, business savvy, and global relevance. From Microsoft 365 training to cybersecurity mastery, Richard ensures no student is left behind — not even during the Olympics or a Tuesday quiz meeting.
By night (and some weekends), he's the community-hearted, game-loving soul who teams up with Rudolph von Abo — his partner-in-life and fellow dog-dad — hosting exchange students, plotting hilarious April Fool’s pranks, and fiercely competing in Canasta showdowns.
With one eye on strategy and the other on student success, Richard doesn’t just run programs — he builds futures. Whether it’s helping a new student like David McKenzie stay on track or designing a KPI dashboard for staff, he’s always blending care with capability.
*Catchphrase?* “Let’s make IT happen.”
How would you describe your ideal student — the kind that makes all your planning, coaching, and creativity feel worth it?
