Gtslearning has been named as Element K’s European Region Award Winner for 2005, reflecting the success of its strategic push into blended and online learning solutions.
The IT skills gap, a phenomenon of the 1990s, is on the increase again, exposing a significant shortfall of skills in advanced networking technologies, so gtslearning is introducing a certification and training library, called LabSim, to grow IT and networking expertise through effective self-paced learning.
Today's businesses need their staff to be IT literate to compete effectively. This pressing need has led to increased demand by companies for IT competency standards such as ECDL (the European Computer Driving Licence), which tests all-round IT knowledge for business applications. This drive for IT standards has prompted gtslearning to develop a complete blended-learning solution for its ECDL portfolio. This new initiative has been conceived to help educators cost-effectively deliver large scale training programmes.
A recent report by CSO Magazine Security Sensor states that security education is now only the third most important priority for security chiefs this year. Cost of education is believed to be a major factor.
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.
