Shrewsbury, MA (PRWEB) December 8, 2004 -- The Training Associates (“TTA”),
the largest provider of Microsoft Certified Trainers (MCTs), has met the
requirements of Microsoft’s Certified Partner for Learning Solutions (CPLS)
program. This new partner designation is a significant re-branding and expansion
of the former Microsoft Certified Technical Education Center (CTEC) category.
The CPLS competency assures customers of an industry-recognized level of
quality, solution breadth and technical understanding when employing TTA’s
services.
According to Denyse McCuistion, Microsoft CPLS Program
Manager, “With our emphasis on solution selling, partners are able to build
richer end-customer relationships and provide more complete solutions; with its
network of strong relationships with our training-center partners, TTA helps to
facilitate that model very well.”
Vic Melfa, CEO of The Training
Associates, added: “We expect this action to further enhance our historically
close relationship with Microsoft, so that as it rolls out new products and
partner initiatives, TTA will have trainers qualified and ready to go. This
means that our training-center clients don’t have to make that risky investment
themselves to enter those new markets. However, we have not altered our focus on
our core competencies of recruiting, developing, managing and deploying
qualified IT trainers ...which thus enables our clients to focus on their core
competencies of providing a full complement of training solutions.”
