InfoSource Releases First Approved Online Course for Internet and Computing Core Certification (IC³) Training.
WINTER PARK, FL (May 12, 2003) - InfoSource, Inc., in partnership with Certiport, Inc., today announced the release of the How To Master IC³ Training Solution. Designed to prepare students for the Internet and Computing Core Certification (IC³), the How To Master IC³ Training Solution is approved by Certiport and is the first online training course for North America to be granted the status of IC³ Approved Courseware.
The new How To Master IC³ Training Solution includes complete coverage for Computing Fundamentals, Living Online, and Key Applications - the three exams individuals are required to pass in order to complete the Internet and Computing Core Certification and earn their IC³ certificate.
This new IC³ training option uses interactive exercises, audio narration, simulations, video clips, graphics, and animated tips to present an easy-to-use, engaging curriculum for IC³ study. The course is self-paced, allowing learners to progress at their own speed and review lessons as often as desired to become more comfortable and proficient with the concepts and tasks presented. The course allows students to prepare for each of the three exams independently, and since the course is delivered online, it is easily accessible from work, school, or home.
"We're really excited to release the first online training course approved for IC³," said InfoSource CEO Michael Werner. "IC³ is having a strong impact with our clients; from individuals preparing for IC³, to schools improving and certifying student knowledge, to organizations using IC³ to validate employee skills and improve enterprise-wide productivity, everyone wants the benefits of online course delivery."
"For an economy that is increasingly dependent on technology, the most important step in realizing workforce productivity involves the right training on fundamentals and the use of digital tools. InfoSource's self-paced "How to Master IC³ Training Solution" provides just the right formula for achieving this goal," said Certiport president and CEO David Saedi.
IC³ is often the first certification individuals pursue to demonstrate computing skills competence. It is the first global, validated certification used to verify digital literacy, and its three exams cover many concepts, such as Internet and e-mail use, basic hardware and software knowledge, and the ability to utilize common programs, including word processor and spreadsheet applications. IC³ offers individuals the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and certify their ability to use technology and be more productive.
The How To Master IC³ Training Solution can be included within the How To Master Learning Management System (LMS), allowing organizations to offer the new course side-by-side with the How To Master PC Skills, How To Master Soft Skills, and How To Master A+ Certification online training libraries. With the How To Master LMS, organizations are able to assign curriculums, monitor training activity, track completion, report results, and much more.
