Miami, Florida, January 26, 2010 – The Academy achieved a milestone, “Unheard of in Florida’s IT training industry – to receive approval by South Florida Workforce and Workforce Alliance to provide Authorized VMWARE curriculum within its Virtualization Professional Program (VPP). The Academy of South Florida is the only vendor statewide that may offer authorized VMWARE curriculum to the public under the Commission for Independent Education. Additionally, The Academy of South Florida is the only approved Workforce vendor that would be allowed to offer VMWARE curriculum.
Andy M. Perez, CFO , The Academy commented – “this is a major achievement by Management within The Academy. This achievement reveals that The Academy truly stays on pace with the ever changing world of Technology. The Virtualization Professional Program will be a perfect complement to what is reflecting within the Corporate environment in South Florida. Companies are spending less on Hardware and more on Virtualization. This will provide less costs on hardware purchases and energy consumption. One might say that The Academy is truly focused on Greening the IT marketplace!”
According to Christopher Perez, Director of Education, “the Virtualization Professional Program was just the “FIRST STEP”to The Academy’s job tailored IT Programs.
