Both ITpreneurs, enabler of IT best practices management training, and Foster-Melliar, leading provider and pioneer of ITIL and IT service management in South Africa, jointly announce the signing of an elaborate partnership for the delivery of training using Itpreneurs' full-range quality material and e-learning courses.
Having years of experience in designing and delivery of IT best practices management training, Foster-Melliar initially planned to design its own ITIL V3 Intermediate courseware; however, the required extensive material necessary for these courses required significant investments. Motivated to seek an alternative solution without compromising on the high standard of quality, Foster-Melliar chose to license ITpreneurs materials.
When reviewing and testing, Foster-Melliar recognised the benefits of licensing from ITpreneurs and adopted not only the ITIL V3 Intermediate courseware, but also the ITIL Foundation, ISO20000 and COBIT material, in order to maintain consistent high quality materials while improving the experience for learners in their path towards certification.
“Being two highly regarded leaders in the industry, a partnership between ITpreneurs and Foster-Melliar allows benefits not only for each company, but the industry as a whole,” said Ike Hanselman, EMEA executive. “Foster-Melliar's expertise will lead to improved delivery for learners and strengthen their lead in the South African market.”
A strong partner on the African continent strengthens Itpreneurs' network for the delivery of quality training. Being a high quality material provider, Foster-Melliar will be providing valuable feedback, allowing for continued improvements and enhancements for future releases.
Taking advantage of Itpreneurs' channel services will improve ease of business, allowing for a single point of contact for exam ordering and processing, which will provide a cost-advantage and efficiency.
Additionally, a Foster-Melliar branded e-learning portal will be deployed to provide the South African market self-paced, ITIL v3 Foundation e-Learning courses.
“Foster-Melliar has always been driven by a passion for extremely high standards, and the quality of our offering,” says Russell Steyn, Managing Director of Foster-Melliar. “As such, when looking for a partner to assist us with courseware, we were looking for a world-class provider with the same passion for excellence as our own. Quality and not price was our main criteria,” says Steyn.
