Businesses urged to take a look at innovative IT courses on offer at new Coventry College

Aug. 31, 2012 - PRLog -- Coventry University College is opening its doors to local businesses on 5 September to show them how a new IT training course could help them boost their productivity.

Coventry University College has joined forces with Hewlett Packard to offer the Accredited Technical Associate training programme (HP ATA) which is an industry-leading curriculum awarding qualifications across four key areas.*

As well as providing skills across the whole technology stack, there will be a module on ‘Cloud’ which focuses on cross-technology integration, a vital new resource for businesses which rely heavily on Information Technology.

The launch event, which takes place at Coventry University College in the Armstrong Siddeley Building at 4.30pm on Wednesday 5 September, is open to business-owners who want their staff to be accredited in the latest IT skills.

Coventry University College is one of the first Higher Education institutions in the UK to deliver the HP Institute qualification.

John Dishman, CEO and Director, Coventry University College, said:

“We not only offer a wide range of academic courses, but also provide professional courses for people who want to improve their skills.

“We are delighted that our new status as an HP Institute enables us to provide innovative courses like the HP ATA programme which is at the forefront of technological development. We hope business leaders will recognise the importance of making sure their staff have the most up-to-date IT training and come along to the launch to see what the course could do for them.”

Anyone interested in attending the launch should contact the marketing team on 024 7765 8787 to book their place.
