ICT Training

Delivery of IT training is regarded as a basis, which promotes the raise of professional skills of people involved in IT projects in the country, what in it's turn contributes to the development of IT sector of Azerbaijan in general. The scope of use of IT-solutions broadens almost every day. This and also constant appearance of new technologies puts new challenges for IT-training providers. New scopes of application of IT means new target groups for IT-training, which in its turn means new and more specialized curriculum development.

The responsibility of the training team is to timely and adequately respond to the changes in IT industry and support all initiatives, which may have training component considered.
