IT testing and certification body NCC Education is to host the global launch of its new online learning facility at Computer Faire this week.
The new facility, including a Virtual Campus and online courses, will be launched on Wednesday, 22 May at the faire. NCC Education will also showcase its range of IT qualifications.
Over the past 12 months NCC Education has launched an Internet certification programme, an e-commerce diploma, a programme of courses for school children and an MSC programme and its validation services.
NCC Education global business manager Anton Barnett Harris says Africa was selected as the platform for the launch because the continent is one of the most rapidly developing markets.
"Growth on the continent has exceeded 300% in the last 12 months. We believe that students here need to interact with students and lecturers from all over the world to place their qualification and learning into a global context," he says.
NCC Education MD David Pottinger says: "Computer Faire Johannesburg is the perfect event for the launch of the Virtual Campus and online courses. We were looking to communicate the benefits of the Virtual Campus and new range of online courses to education centres delivering international qualifications to the end-user. By launching at Computer Faire we have achieved these aims."
NCC Education will host a launch party with live demonstrations with students and lecturers from four continents, illustrating the accessibility of the global education platform on offer.
