HONG KONG, CHINA, 1997 NOV 10 (NB) -- By Tina Chan, IT Daily. With
hopes to supply the demand for certified engineers, which is growing
rapidly in China, Novell Hong Kong [NASDAQ:NOVL] has appointed
Fillip Routing Computer Training Center as a Novell Authorized
Education Center (NAEC), which will offer Novell certification
courses by the end of this month.
It's necessary to provide these training centers because the Hong
Kong Polytechnic and other technical schools do not offer complete
Novell training, according to Alex Tseng, area educational manager.
The courses are open to Novell customers, channel partners and
network engineers.
Fillip Routing has the largest number of Novell Certified Network
Instructors in Hong Kong, making it an ideal partner. Other existing
Novell training partners in Hong Kong include SystemPro, the Hong
Kong Productivity Council, SiS, Drake and the Hong Kong and Shanghai
Bank, which provides training for its own employees. Tseng says the
performance of each of these partners is evaluated each year, but
this year, Novell will be cutting down the number of training
partners to the very best, in order to cut costs.
The courses train networking professionals on Internet/intranet
solutions, messaging, connectivity, client/network software,
network management, and more. Novell has several categories of
certification, the most popular seem to be the Certified Novell
Engineer (CNE). "In Hong Kong, becoming a CNE is very important when
a company wants to hire network engineers," Tseng says, "It's kind
of like a green card for engineers." Tseng says although many
engineers in Hong Kong are seeking Novell training, the demand for
certified engineers in China is even greater. There are
approximately 20,000 students undergoing Novell certification
training in the PRC, and the number is expected to grow rapidly.
