Torque-IT, one of South Africa`s largest technical computer training companies was appointed as 3Com SA`s exclusive training partner in July 2000.
Training started with a bang on the 7th of August with the inaugural 3Star Sales course, which was almost completely sold out.
"It is extremely unusual to have such a demand for new training products," says Gary Chalmers, MD of Torque-IT. "It just goes to show what a massive market penetration 3Com have in South Africa.
"We have now released a full course schedule, and are looking to include part-time training as well in the near future", says Minesh Mistry, 3Com product manager for Torque-IT. "We are also extremely fortunate to have highly qualified trainers who are able to teach the full spectrum of 3Com training courses."
"Torque-IT is the best possible training partner for us," affirms Buddie Ceronie, CEO of 3Com SA, "not only for their specialisation in high-end network and development training, but also for their skills-based training that assists delegates to become "masters" in their chosen fields".
3-Com`s product strategy is to focus on the technologies that analysts predict will have the highest growth rates, such as the Web, IP telephony, Wireless communication, Broadband communication and Gigabit Ethernet.
Courses include the 3Star Sales course, which is run over 5 mornings, so that it can be incorporated with the salespeople`s busy week schedules. It covers the 3Com products via two mornings on a foundation in technology, two mornings on LAN and one morning on WAN.
Starting in September, there will be 3Com courses on offer at Torque-IT, which will be aimed at technicians to obtain hands-on training on how to install and maintain the new web-enabled e-networking 3Com solutions.
Torque-IT is one of Africa`s largest technical training companies, specializing in high-end networking and development training for the IT industry. As a Microsoft partner, Torque-IT specializes in their networking and development courses, as well as offering a range of other products, which compliment these curricula.
