GTSLearning partners with Knowledgepool to provide 24x7 live mentored student support
Under the agreement, students using gtslearning’s e-learning, classroom-based and self-paced learning content (through book, CD and web), will get 24x7 live online access to dedicated classrooms with industry-certified mentors.
LONDON, ENGLAND – 4 June 2002 – GTSLearning plc, a leading provider of IT courseware content and delivery solutions, has today announced the signing of an agreement to provide KnowledgePool’s live online mentoring services to the gtspartner channel and student base.
Under the agreement, students using gtslearning’s e-learning, classroom-based and self-paced learning content (through book, CD and web), will get 24x7 live online access to dedicated classrooms with industry-certified mentors.
Certification products covered by this agreement include CompTIA’s A+ Certification, Network+ Certification and i-Net+ Certification; International/European Computer Driving Licence; Microsoft Office User Specialist; and the Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator and Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer. Support for other qualifications, such as Cisco’s CCNA, will follow later in the year.
“We are launching a unique mentoring solution which will give the student ‘round-the-clock’ access to a live certified instructor,” said Robin Adda, Managing Director of gtslearning. “The power of learning content, supported by access to live 24x7 help and instruction, provides a tool that rises to the challenges both of students who are dedicating personal time to study and those learners who want to reinforce the knowledge from the classroom or e-learning environment. This is blended learning with a difference, where the student can truly study anytime, anywhere and still get support from an instructor, even at 3am on a Sunday morning!”
The adoption of KnowledgePool’s mentoring services significantly increases gtslearning’s penetration in the e-learning market and follows the recent announcement of a content-rich learning management system. Mentoring will be fully integrated into the LMS and will be a feature of other gtslearning products that are scheduled for launch in the coming months.
“We’re pleased to partner with gtslearning, which extends our popular mentoring services to even more IT students and aspiring technology professionals,” said Vince Rowe, executive vice president of KnowledgePool Americas. “Quality learning resources combined with KPA’s online experts and certified instructors give students the tools they need to build a strong foundation in their education and launch a successful career in IT.”
