New Horizons Worldwide, Inc., the world's largest independent IT
training provider, today announced that it is celebrating its
twenty-fifth year providing innovative learning solutions that
transform businesses and help individuals reach their career goals.
Over the last twenty-five years New Horizons has grown to be the
global leader in the industry and is responsible for pioneering
learning methods that have permanently changed the IT training
landscape.
New Horizons was founded as a one-classroom facility in 1982 and
now exceeds 280 training centers in 56 countries. In 1982, New
Horizons offered desktop applications training via traditional
classroom training. Today, New Horizons has evolved its training
offering to include Information Technology, Professional Skills,
Healthcare, English Language as well as applications courses through
multiple formats and delivery methods including traditional Classroom
Learning, On-Site Learning, Online LIVE Learning, Online ANYTIME
Learning and our newest delivery method, Mentored Learning.
"I am proud to celebrate this landmark achievement as it
represents our resilience in an ever-changing industry as well as the
impact we have had on the lives of our more than twenty-five million
students," said Mark Miller, New Horizons president and chief
executive officer. "I credit this milestone to our unique ability to
create innovative solutions for our clients that maximize employee
skills, giving our customers a competitive edge, and our consumer
programs that give our students a professional advantage."
As a natural extension to its successful domestic training
programs, New Horizons has continued to aggressively expand its
international presence. New Horizons opened its first international
center in Mexico City, Mexico in 1993. Other regions of the world
quickly followed with openings in Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle
East in 1994. In 2000, New Horizons added fifty new locations in one
year and opened its one-hundredth international location in Frankfurt,
Germany. Today, New Horizons continues to open new centers in every
region of the world, successfully adapting products and programs to
suit the needs of local markets.
"It has been a great twenty-five years but we don't plan to rest
on the accomplishments that have made us the largest IT training
provider in the world," said Tim Kleczka, New Horizons senior vice
president of operations. "The technology evolution has not shown any
signs of slowing down and New Horizons hasn't either. We will continue
to develop innovative and flexible learning solutions, such as
Mentored Learning, that enable our clients to keep pace and obtain
full value from their technology investments."
