A foundation in the technology community

Our contribution within the global technology community is more than just IT training. Technology’s expanding reach is making every level of staff some sort of technology professional. The hyper-focused, specialty roles aren’t going anywhere—they’re more necessary than ever—but we also must account for the T-shaped skills. Thus, we train beyond the traditional IT topics and train more people than corporate IT.

We exist to address the total skills profile of technology professionals.

Whether you’re managing mission critical technology initiatives, developing your technical talent pipeline or taking IT products and services to market, our innovative and flexible learning solutions equip you for success.


Why Global Knowledge? Impact.

Sustainable, scalable, repeatable IMPACT--with minimal disruption. That’s why for over 20 years organizations large and small, technology providers, enterprises, and governments around the world come to us.

By providing access to subject matter experts, delivering authorized and industry-leading instruction through multiple delivery formats, we set the stage for your success by reducing skill gaps. You’ll also see impacts in onboarding and employee retention through improved skills and higher job satisfaction.

This is all driven by level of quality we set for ourselves. We believe in consistency and maintain rigorous in-house standards, so you receive an exceptional training experience anywhere in the world.
