Aptech & Microsoft teams up

Aptech Computer Education has announced a strategic alliance with Microsoft to set up Microsoft Center of Excellence for providing training on .NET technologies.

Aptech would be training 15,000 plus students on .NET initiative with the announcement of the Center of Excellence. Furthering its support for the .NET initiative Aptech is now all set to co-brand its two most popular courses with the .NET platform.

Kishansinh Gohil, Head, Aptech Computer Education, commenting on this technology alliance with Microsoft said, "Microsoft Center of Excellence would improve the technical strength and global acceptance of Aptech's already popular eACCP 2002 career course. The demand of training on the .NET platform through our courses was already very high. Focused help from Microsoft consultants and the technical teams under CoE will enrich the knowledge of Aptech's Design and course development teams on .NET products. Aptech would be able to leverage this transfer of knowledge and expertise from the Microsoft CoE onto the Aptech curriculum, which would be available at 800 centers of Aptech across the country. Early availability of beta version of new software and its ultimate linkage with applications is now fully incorporated in devising a student-centric and flexible curriculum."

He added, "The .NET platform is going to be now an integral part of many of courses offered by Aptech, with a view to providing the best technology to the student community. Aptech would be training students on .NET for the enterprise and for the developer. Individual components such as the entire server range within .NET enterprise servers and components of .NET such as C# and VS .NET using XML as the development base would also be a part of this curriculum. Most fascinating part of CoE is to deliver our courses with latest trends including web services, developer tools and servers, which has very long-term future."
