Reston, VA, March 18, 2004- Sunset Learning Institute (SLI), a global provider in learning technology and an authorized Cisco Learning Solutions Partner (CLSP), announced today that it is offering a new model for delivery of IT training - Academy Membership Programs. The program entitles members to attend an unlimited number of Academy classes plus value-added learning materials throughout the year - everything needed for IT training for the entire year without the hassle of scheduling and budgeting for individual class events. SLI has a unique background in both Instructor-Led and online learning delivery. This combination has led to the development of the new blended delivery Membership Programs. The Membership programs include a host of Value-Added Learning materials, such as: Synchronous Online Events, Forums & Mentoring, an Online Reference Library, Online Practice Tools, Test Preparation Software and Test Vouchers as needed throughout the year. Rick Morgan, president of SLI states, "With the changing economy, restricted budgets and focus on ROI as they relate to training, the Academy Membership Program provides an alternative solution to Cisco professionals that meets all of their training needs in a given year, and is extremely cost-competitive". The program revolves around Sunset's new grouping of course curriculum into "Academies". Academy offerings currently include: Enterprise Network Academy (for CCNA, CCDA, CCNP, CCDP & CCIE), Security Academy (CCSP), and IP Telephony Academy (CCNA, CCDA, CCNP, CCDP & CCIE). Sunset also has a derivative Security Academy product for Government organizations - Government Security Academy. According to Mr. Morgan, "This approach to grouping our curriculum into Academies allows us to intelligently add curriculum both within and outside Academies as our customers, and specifically our members require, ensuring that we are offering the right training to meet their needs."
