New Microsoft Training 365 IT Professional edition features real-time practice labs for live trials, more than 1100 IT professional courses and other official Microsoft content

Birmingham, UK – 19th April 2010 – C.B. Learning today announced that it has launched a subscription-based service for online access to Microsoft training for technical and desktop applications. IT Professional is just £749 +VAT and provides access to official online Microsoft course content for a year.

The career enhancement tool features real-time practice lab servers for users to ‘live trial’ their work, along with more than 1,100 IT Professional courses and other official Microsoft content. Bought as equivalent online courses the same content would cost tens of thousands of pounds.

Paul Savill, Director of Marketing at C.B. Learning explained, “Even in recession, it is important for both organisations and their employees to keep IT skills sharp. Education is a vital component of productivity, career development and talent retention. It also greatly affects the delivery standard and timeliness of both business and technology projects that are more often than not directly linked to the bottom line,” he continued.

“Yet, with both training budgets and time being squeezed ever tighter, the need for flexible and cost-effective training solutions has never been greater.”

C.B. Learning’s on-demand access to authorised solutions for Microsoft applications and technologies ranges from desktop to technical and developer content. Designed as an easy ‘on-the-job’ reference guide, it becomes useful if for example, you need to quickly remember the domain security settings on an old Windows 2000 server, search for a security solution, find a ‘work-around’ or develop a new quick skill in minutes.

Courses are accessed from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day via the internet using Internet Explorer and a subscription number, or they can be downloaded and used without the need of an active internet connection.
