Shortlist Announced for IT Training Awards 2010
The Institute of IT Training is pleased to announce the shortlisted entrants for its IT Training Awards 2010. The awards will take place on Thursday 4th February at The Dorchester Hotel, Park Lane, London.
Chief Executive of the Institute, Colin Steed, announced that the quality of this year's entries were at an all-time high considering the current economic gloom.
"We are delighted with the number of organisations and individuals entering the awards this year," he said. "It goes to prove that both the awards have really come of age and are regarded as the most prestigious accolade and recognition that a corporate training department, a training provider or an individual trainer can achieve. They truly are most sought after awards."
Steed also explained that he is heartened by the outstanding quality and standards achieved by the entrants. "Training professional tend to keep things to themselves, but I can tell you that I would be very proud to be associated with every one of the projects entered. Having been involved with the awards since their inception I am delighted to see the continual raising of standards in all levels of IT training in the UK and I would like to think that the Institute can take a lot of the credit for this."
