Wokingham, UK – Global Knowledge, a leader in IT and business skills training, has won the Innovation in Training Services award sponsored by the IT Service Management Team at the IT industry’s prestigious Training Awards. Global Knowledge was also named a finalist for the External Training Project of the Year and Training Company of the Year awards sponsored by Prometric and Ricoh respectively.
“It’s an honour to be recognised for our innovation” said Glyn Roberts, UK operations director at Global Knowledge. “The training world is changing rapidly and we need to constantly evolve and adapt our services to support our customers. Whether it’s e-learning, mentored learning or classroom-based, we make sure the training suits.”
In a significant shift away from typical classroom-based training, Global Knowledge has combined a number of learning interventions and reduced instructor-led training to provide high impact learning programmes, delivered in a practical way. This is called the Collaborative Learning programme.
Global Knowledge won the IT Training Award for its Collaborative Learning programme based on its success with a number of large corporate customers. The programme marks a fundamental shift in learning behaviour by embedding practical application at the very core of programme design. Participants apply knowledge learned consistently throughout the programme and build skills in a guided, safe environment. More importantly, they not only learn from subject matter experts but from each other.
“The IT Training Awards celebrate outstanding achievement, best practice and excellence in IT training,” added Colin Steed, Chief Executive, IITT. “It’s great to see what influence the Institute has had in raising the standards of the world's best training and development. The standards of all of the entries has been outstanding and to be a winner is a real achievement to be proud of.”
“This award win shows just how important it is to keep innovating with learning methods and technology,” said Allan Pettman, UK managing director of Global Knowledge. “While IT training is often a necessity, we’ve seen that it can be turned into a far richer experience with flexible delivery mechanisms, tools and appropriate support. Being recognised for our work in this space shows that Global Knowledge is indeed leading the way.”
