Learning NewsBray Leino Learning

19 November 2002: Intuition, the UK's largest supplier of freelance trainers, today announces the availability of free training to further enhance the skills of its registered trainers. Working in conjunction with leading e-learning provider it-training.com and Microsoft Certified Gold Partner, Informatics Group, Intuition trainers will now have access to over 600 interactive online courses and a large portfolio of instructor-led training events.

With the ever-increasing number of products and regularity of updates within the IT industry, trainers need to constantly enhance their knowledge and skills. Business in the IT training market is significantly down this year and Intuition has seen more and more trainers moving to freelance work, often as a result of redundancy. More than ever, trainers need to ensure that their skills are current and relevant in a highly competitive marketplace.

it-training.com's online training courses in soft skills and IT related subjects use built-in skill assessments in order to deliver specific training material based on the needs of the individual. The courses have a comprehensive backend administration panel to display course results, time spent taking a course, and usage of the system by each person.

Phil Wilding, Technical Director at it-training.com, says: "through the project work we have done in conjunction with Intuition, we have seen the quality of the Intuition trainers. We believe it is mutually advantageous to make this influential group familiar with our courses whilst helping them to acquire new skills."

Informatics Group will provide a number of free places on classroom courses every month to Intuition registered trainers. With over twenty years experience in delivering IT training of the highest quality, Informatics is trusted by IT professionals, end-users and corporate customers to deliver focussed learning solutions. Last year alone, they trained over 100,000 people within the UK.

Peter Clements, Marketing Director at Informatics, says: "As part of the agreement we have with Intuition, we are glad to be able to play our part in ensuring that there are excellent instructors to support the IT Training industry through into the future."

Stephen Fletcher, Managing Director of Intuition, says: "We are very pleased to be able to announce this enhancement to the support package available to our trainers. In addition to ongoing development through self-study and consulting work, instructors will now find it easier to enrol on formal e-learning and classroom-based courses. This provides an excellent opportunity to a wide range of trainers to prepare for 2003 and beyond."
