Company Profile:

NetCollege is a high-level online training company specializing in information technology training for managers, engineers, and other business professionals, such as insurance, banking, and real estate professionals. NetCollege focuses on technology-enabled learning. Visit the NetCollege Web site (www.NetCollege.com) for a complete catalog of technology-enabled courses available online.

NetCollege operates on the philosophy that education and training must be available anywhere, anytime, on demand, and with minimum interference from time on the job. NetCollege's business plan recognizes a strong demand from industry for distance learning driven by:

  • Global competitiveness that reduces available time for away-from-the-job training
  • New technologies that enhance productivity but require intensive training
  • A lack of qualified and available instructors for a growing diversification of topics
  • Spiraling costs of and concern about non-value added travel

A growing convergence of computer and communications technologies enhances opportunities for asynchronous educational products. Advances in compression technology, Internet and intranet programming, satellite broadcasting, low-cost computers and high-speed modems have each substantially improved the performance of distance learning.

NetCollege also provides a series of instructor-led seminars on a wide range of topics. NetCollege features instructors from Foster University as well as other professionals with specific expertise on topics of current interest.
