NIL receives Innovation award at Cisco EMEAR Learning Partner Summit

Johannesburg, 31 May 2012

NIL is the recipient of the Cisco EMEAR Learning Partner Summit Innovation award for its Technology Led Training (TLT) and for its extensive contribution to Cisco Learning solutions. This is already the fourth major Cisco award NIL has received this year.

The winners were unveiled on 24 May at the EMEAR Learning Partner Summit, in London, UK, where NIL's delegation received the award.

"We are very proud and honoured that our innovative approach to learning delivery was recognised by Cisco. The award is a result of our commitment to provide outstanding and worldwide innovative training solutions to our customers,” says Karen Sharpe, Learning Services Manager at NIL.

NIL's Technology Led Training (TLT) is a new way for people to learn. Through use of advanced video technology, TLT is changing the way we educate, helping students and instructors to create new types of classrooms - and attend training around the globe. The approach is beneficial for students and NIL, as it helps us to deliver classes that would be cancelled in a classical training environment.

TLT enables NIL to run a centralised training schedule across the whole EMEAR region. Currently there are two operational TLT centres (one in Slovenia and one in South Africa); we are planning to set up more of them in our regional branches. Awards like this one will help us to reach this goal faster, because it proves that our training delivery is among the most innovative on the market. Hopefully this will attract even more students to study at NIL.

“A Cisco Learning Solutions Partner for nearly 20 years, and now a Cisco Specialised Learning Partner, NIL is among industry's top training companies. This year we were first in Europe and Africa, probably also in the whole Eastern hemisphere, to offer the new CCNA Service Provider and CCNP Service Provider curriculums. We have always been actively shaping the Cisco learning portfolio. The two companies have a long tradition of successful business partnership, and awards like this one signals that this trend will continue in the future,” says Marjan Bradesko, Content Development Manager at NIL.

After being awarded for Most Innovative Cloud, Data Centre and Virtualisation Project of The Year and being named Cisco Cloud Partner of the Year for emerging markets and for South Africa, the Innovation Award is already the fourth significant recognition NIL has received from Cisco this year.
