Historical Stock Chart
From May 2019 to May 2024
Prosoft Learning Corp. (NASDAQ: POSO), a technology
learning solutions provider and a leader in workforce development,
today announced that BreakThru Training Solutions (BTS), a leading
provider of hands-on technical training for outside plant, central
office, fiber optics and IT/networking technologies, has become an
affiliate for the CTP (Convergence Technologies Professional)
certification program. Under the terms of the affiliation agreement,
BTS will promote hands-on convergence technologies training programs
to enable students to prepare for the CTP exam.
BTS will also promote and recommend selected Prosoft CTP materials
to enhance its own hands-on convergence training. These Prosoft
materials include the official CTP Exam Study Guide and CTP
AssessPREP, the official CTP test-preparation tool. BTS will promote
Prosoft's CTP certification materials and the official CTP exam to its
customers via the BTS Web site, catalogs, e-mail newsletters and
one-page informational inserts included in its student kits.
Endorsed by industry leaders like Avaya, Cisco and Toshiba, the
CTP program fulfills a critical need for integrated telephony,
networking and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) skills. It
especially appeals to students who need to upgrade their skill sets to
encompass these increasingly required competencies.
Benjamin Fink, president and CEO of Prosoft, said of the affiliate
agreement with BTS, "The CTP certification could not ask for a more
respected group of industry sponsors. Now we are creating the best
distribution channel possible, aligning CTP with those training
institutions that deliver the most comprehensive instruction to their
students. We are delighted that a top-notch provider such as BTS is
getting behind the program."
Christopher Kehoe, director of training and development for BTS,
stated, "CTP is the missing link in today's training environment. This
certification is extremely vital for keeping today's field, support
and management personnel all on the same page. As telecommunications
and data communications have converged over the years, it is essential
to have personnel on both ends to be familiar, comfortable and
confident in working together to produce excellent performance and
support services in today's marketplace. This CTP certification
program provides a proven foundation and rules out the levels of
inconsistencies in training across the board. Our alliance with
Prosoft allows us to offer official certification preparation
materials in addition to our hands-on classes in order to ensure
consistency in the convergence field."
The CTP program, owned by the Telecommunications Industry
Association (TIA), is a high-stakes, vendor-neutral certification that
certifies mastery of the skills required to sell, install or support
integrated voice, data and video technologies such as VoIP. Prosoft
Learning Corp. acts as the program manager for the CTP certification
and has created the Official CTP Curriculum.
