New Horizons - Europe

The International Labour Office expects over 514 million people to enter the workforce by 2015. That is a lot of untrained people who will need the assistance of New Horizons. Furthermore, according to IDC, the premier global market intelligence and advisory firm in the IT and telecommunications industries, “European enlargement will generate almost $5 billion of IT spending in Eastern Europe.” To maximize return-on-investment for these IT expenditures, companies must ensure that their personnel have the training required to stay current with the ever-changing technology landscape. Therefore, IT training will be integral to the growth and wealth to all Central and Eastern European countries as global companies look to invest in Europe. People seeking to start or grow a career in IT must also have the necessary training to stay competitive in the changing job market. In order for corporations and individuals to acquire and build these skills, it is of utmost importance that they have access to modern and well-established organizations that provide top quality classroom and online training to prepare for the expansion. New Horizons, the worldwide IT training industry leader, is the organization they need.  

Founded in 1982, New Horizons Computer Learning Centers was named the world's largest independent computer training company by IDC in 2005. The company is both an operator and franchisor of computer training centers that offer a broad range of technical training, desktop application and business skills courses for all levels of computer users in multiple delivery methods and formats. New Horizons provides approximately three million student days of instruction annually. With locations around the globe, New Horizons sets the pace for innovative training programs that meet the changing needs of the industry.  Using a proven sales system and a dynamic sales force of over 2,100 individuals and with 2,400 qualified instructors in over 2,100 classrooms, New Horizons offers more courses, at more times, in more delivery methods than any other computer training company. 

Typically, New Horizons franchise territories are awarded to existing training companies who want to expand their reach and offerings, multi-franchise owners who want to diversify, value-added resellers who want to enter the training business, and entrepreneurs who want to own their own business. To own a New Horizons franchise is to belong to a network that offers more Microsoft technical certification than any other organization in the world.  New Horizons also holds the designation of the largest network of:

·    Microsoft Certified Technical Education Centers (CTECs),

·    Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Learning Solutions,

·   Security Certified Professional (SCP) Authorized Training Partners,

·   Citrix Authorized Learning Centers,

·   Authorized Prometric Testing centers,

·   Authorized VUE Testing Centers,

·   CompTIA Certification Training providers

New Horizons also leads the industry in providing quality training. In a 2003 ranking of Microsoft Certified Technical Education Centers (CTECs), in terms of overall student satisfaction, seven out of the top ten CTECs listed were New Horizons centers.

Not only do franchise owners have the advantage of international recognition and strong vendor relationships, but they also have the advantage of working from a proven business model, using procedures that have been refined over time. The sales system is unsurpassed in the industry, successfully tapping the revenue potential of all types of clients, from individuals to corporations. “A franchise system like New Horizons offers a business owner many tested tools to enable your success, rather than developing the business yourself over a couple of years by trial and error,” said Joern Oelze, Owner of New Horizons, Hamburg, Germany. “In the coming years, the training sector will be dominated by only two or three worldwide networks of training centers.  New Horizons is, and will continue to be, a global market leader.”

Technology training is integral to the growth of Central and Eastern Europe. To be successful, new and established businesses, as well as individuals, need access to instructor-led and online training, certification programs and exams, using state-of-the-art equipment and taught by industry experts. Success begins at New Horizons Computer Learning Centers.
