PDi CourseSource, the world's first online IT courseware supermarket, has expanded its range with the addition of 25 "live" training courses from specialist Wave Technologies (UK) Ltd.
Visitors to the CourseSource web site, http://www.pdi-coursesource.com, can browse details of Wave's courses and buy them via the secure checkout facility. PDi CourseSource operates a print-on-demand service for the materials, providing fast delivery across Europe.
The new courses are aimed at training companies and in-house training departments. Wave has strategic partner status and courseware approval from some of the world's leading software developers, including Microsoft. The range includes Microsoft's MCSE certification programme, the skills most in demand worldwide, and ITNTO approved BugBuster training.
"We are delighted to be offering our courseware through CourseSource", said John Kirkham, Managing Director of Wave Technologies' international operation. "This exciting new approach creates a totally new channel to a new market." In the past the authorized training providers have been forced to buy from Microsoft and internal IT training departments have not had access to Microsoft's materials.
PDi CourseSource now includes courseware from some of the biggest names in IT training, including Macmillan Books, SVI and The CourseWare Company.
