Vantage Education - The Smart Way To Learn

When it comes to implementing new technology, most of us understand the value of education. As organizations increase their reliance on client/server -based information systems, the on-going support of these systems becomes increasingly important. But finding the time for training within your busy schedule seems nearly impossible. That's why the educational method you choose must be flexible, so much so that it can be tailored to you and your scheduling needs. Which is exactly what you'll find with Vantage Education Services from VMARK.

Vantage Education Services emphasize choice. Like a choice of training methods, including classroom or self-paced workshops. A choice of courses, covering everything from general UNIX principals to sophisticated network and database management and design, to application development techniques. A choice of popular third-party client/server courses, including the entire curriculum from NOVELL and Microsoft. A choice of course levels, from introductory through advanced. And a choice of schedules with courses held throughout the year.

In addition, Vantage Education Services are modular. So you can take a single course or a group of courses designed towards your particular needs. What's more, you can choose your location. Maximize your technical skills with customized Vantage courses at your facility or at one of VMARK's worldwide training centers.

Classroom Courses That Make The Grade

Vantage classroom courses provide a practical in-depth study of a broad range of subjects. Varying in length, these sessions are a combination of lectures, hands-on demonstrations, and workshops given by experts in their fields.

The courses can be held specifically for your organization (reducing travel costs and employees' time away) or can be attended with others, offering an opportunity to learn how your industry peers address challenges similar to yours.

Furthermore, any Vantage course can be customized to meet your company's unique needs.
