ProsoftTraining.com Adds CIW Web Site Manager Certification
New CIW Certification Recognizes Cross-Functional Job Role
(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 02, 2001 ) Austin, Texas, – ProsoftTraining.com (Nasdaq: POSO) today announced the launch and immediate availability of a new CIW certification, Master CIW Web Site Manager. This new certification offers learners a cross-functional vendor-neutral Internet skills certification.
The Master CIW Web Site Manager certification targets individuals who manage Web sites for small- and medium-sized organizations and individuals in larger enterprises whose responsibilities include extranet and intranet Web site management. The new CIW certification confirms that an individual has the skills to administer Web servers in Unix, Linux and NT environments, as well as make changes to the actual design and operation of a Web site. Training and preparation for the new certification is available worldwide from CIW Authorized Training Providers (ATPs). To find a CIW ATP in your area, visit http://www.ciwcertified.com/locator/introlocator.asp.
A recent techies.com employment and job skills study revealed “a significant decline in employer demand for individuals with entry-level IT skills,” said Cynthia Morgan, vice president of content and executive producer for techies.com. “No longer are basic HTML or Java skills enough to remain competitive. Companies today must focus on their core business and thus need individuals who are competent in a wide variety of fundamental Internet skills to manage the daily functions of an organization’s IT infrastructure.”
“As the largest CIW training provider in the world, we have experienced a great deal of success with the CIW offering,” said Gene Longobardi, senior vice president for New Horizons Computer Learning Centers' North American Operations. “By offering the Master CIW Web Site Manager, we will extend the same high-quality, vendor-neutral Internet skills training program as the original CIW courses to students who want to focus on cross-functional career paths in IT, which will require competency in multiple Internet disciplines.”
The Master CIW Web Site Manager certification consists of the CIW Foundations, CIW Site Designer, CIW Web Languages and CIW Server Administrator exams. The existing Master CIW Designer, Developer and Administrator tracks will continue to benefit individuals who aspire to demonstrate in-depth competence in a single Internet area. Master CIW Web Site Manager represents the first CIW certification focused on multi-function competency.
“The new Master CIW Web Site Manager is a logical addition to our current certifications. It utilizes already existing courses and tests but reflects job roles that have cross-functional requirements much like the traditional Webmaster of the 1990s,” said Julie Rowe, vice president of products and programs of ProsoftTraining.com. “Even though in many companies there are entire departments devoted to each Web function, the Master CIW Web Site Manager recognizes that companies still need individuals who can perform all the tasks required to manage a single Web site.”
