Global Knowledge UK goes the 'Xtra' mile
~ IT training provider launches new online resources to give trainees that little bit extra ~ VMware Xtra - a selection of online resources to help customers get the most from their VMware training courses.
Wokingham, UK - IT training and business skills provider, Global Knowledge, has launched VMware Xtra - a selection of online resources to help customers get the most from their VMware training courses.
Global Knowledge's latest offering has been driven by a shift in learning techniques and customer feedback. The online repository allows users access to support tools such as technical papers, industry experts and video tutorials. It accommodates the changing face of education and the flexibility that is now at the heart of modern learning.
"Supporting the learner through the cycle is essential to realise the benefit," explained Allan Pettman, UK managing director of Global Knowledge. "Too many training companies simply consider the course as the sole learning activity. We made a conscious decision to increase the learning footprint by providing resources and support for the learner before and after the formal training activity. These additional activities allow individuals to maximise the opportunity, and at their own pace."
The new service, publicly available from today and showcased at the VMware Forum in London last month, allows users access to a selection of videos, presentations, tips, trainer biographies and contact details, once the course has been purchased.
"We really believe the Xtra resources, of which the VMware suite will be the first, will enrich our delegates' experience, save time and improve the interactive process with our subject matter experts," concluded Allan. "It is important that we listen to our customers and continually look to improve the service we can offer in supporting the changing needs of learners. With VMware Xtra we think we've done just that".
