Our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses can give your organisation a competitive edge, and individuals the relevant soft skills and managerial expertise they need to move ahead in today’s constantly changing global IT & Telecoms environment.
What’s more, many of our CPD courses can be mapped against the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA). SFIA allows all employers of IT professionals the opportunity to standardise job titles and functions and to plan for future needs and staff development.
