IT ENGINEERS FOCUS ON CISCO AUTHORIZED SELF-PACED LEARNING
Companies cut training and travel budgets; Self-paced, Self-study closes the gap
Information technology engineers are continually expected by their employers to keep up on the ever changing and rapidly advancing technologies within their field of expertise. At conventions across the country and around the world, more and more engineers are expressing their frustrations. They need additional authorized training, but because of heavy work loads and shrinking budgets, they’re not able to take time away from work to attend training courses. Traditional training courses or “boot camps” require engineers to be away from work for 5 to 17 days depending on the level of training they’re pursuing. Companies today are cutting back on what they consider the luxury of training courses and the additional expenses of travel and per diem. However, many companies are still willing to pay for other forms of authorized training where employees can self-study.
According to Brad Ellis, CEO of CCBOOTCAMP, these engineers are looking for ways to get their necessary training and advanced certifications and stay within their company restrictions. “The changing economy is putting the squeeze on companies today, but the need for trained engineers is more necessary today than ever before in order for these companies to remain competitive,” Ellis said.
To close the gap between the need for training and the engineers’ heavy work load, lack of travel budget and increased pressure to self-study, CCBOOTCAMP’s Brad Ellis says engineers are excited about the release of the new Cisco Authorized iCOD – Classes on Demand. This new form of training course available on the Apple iPOD Touch platform allows the engineers to self-study whenever and where ever is convenient. Each Apple iPOD Touch is preloaded with a self-paced instructor led lecture featuring Official Cisco Curriculum and discussion pertaining to a specific training level and certification.
CCBOOTCAMP, a division of Network Learning, Inc. was founded in 1998 to provide authorized Cisco and Comptia training courses for IT engineers at every level of expertise. The company offers training solutions to individuals as well as companies who employ engineers to maintain their networks.
