IBM to Distribute CIW Internet Certification Worldwide AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 22, 1999-- biz.yahoo.com ProsoftTraining.com(SM) (Nasdaq:POSO - news), Wednesday announced the signing of a worldwide distribution agreement for the industry-leading Certified Internet Webmaster (CIW) certification program. IBM will incorporate CIW curriculum from ProsoftTraining.com into its global education offerings. The worldwide agreement follows the successful rollout of the CIW program by IBM retail training subsidiaries Catapult and PBSC Computer Training. Preparatory training for CIW certification will be offered worldwide both internally to IBM employees and to all external education and enterprise customers. Under the agreement announced Wednesday, IBM and its business partners worldwide will have access to the CIW preparatory curriculum. CIW's vendor-neutral, job-role-centric curriculum complements the broad e-business education curriculum already available from IBM. Rollout of CIW courses throughout IBM is expected to begin immediately. ``Certified Internet Webmaster is an excellent program for building and validating the e-business skills our customers require,' said Stig Envall, director of Global Offerings, Learning Services, IBM Global Services. ``Inclusion of CIW preparatory training in our global education offerings further strengthens our ability to deliver the best in e-business training programs to our customers.' CIW is the industry-leading certification program for Internet professionals. It defines critical job roles and associated skills required to deploy today's e-business solutions. Beginning last year, IBM and Prosoft collaborated to identify and benchmark both the most relevant job roles emerging in today's Internet economy, and the skills required to perform them. The identified job roles provide a ``road map' designed to help individuals and companies formulate effective training programs to prepare Internet professionals to develop and deploy e-business solutions. The vendor-neutral program gives participants exposure to the leading technologies in each subject area. After demonstrating mastery of the concepts presented in the CIW Foundations track, students are prepared to pursue more specialized job-role credentials such as Site Designer, e-Commerce Professional, Application Developer, Enterprise Developer, Server Administrator, Internetworking Professional or Security Professional. Wednesday's announcement further strengthens CIW as an emerging worldwide standard for Internet professional certification. Distribution through all IBM channels will dramatically add to the current network of more than 850 training sites on six continents that already support the CIW program. The credential is accredited by the Association of Internet Professionals and endorsed by the World Organization of Webmasters. ``IBM is synonymous with e-business,' declared Jerry Baird, ProsoftTraining.com chairman and CEO. ``We could not have a stronger or better recognized advocate for CIW than IBM. We have worked closely with the team at IBM Learning Services throughout the development of CIW and we are pleased that the resulting program is one they can recommend to their customers.'
