ProsoftTraining.com's Certified Internet Webmaster Program Endorsed by Novell; Novell Merges CIP Certification with CIW Certification
Novell, Prosoft agree to cross-map certifications; Prosoft offers special incentives to all Novell Professionals
(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 05, 2000 ) Austin, Texas – ProsoftTraining.com (Nasdaq: POSO) today announced an agreement with Novell (Nasdaq: NOVL), the leader in Net services software, to merge Novell’s Certified Internet Professional (CIP) certification program into its own Certified Internet Webmaster (CIW) program. Novell’s decision to merge the CIP program was based on several factors, including the strong growth of the CIW program and close alignment with Novell’s own Net services strategy. Current CIP professionals and candidates will be given preferred access and incentives toward CIW certification.
“Prosoft’s Certified Internet Webmaster certification is a worldwide standard for vendor-neutral Internet certification,” said Debbie Maucieri, Vice President of Novell Education. “We strongly endorse CIW and its focus on providing objective certification for Internet administrators, programmers and designers working to accelerate the transition to business on the Internet.”
CIW is the industry-leading certification program for Internet professionals, and is the only Internet certification endorsed by both the Association of Internet Professionals and the International Webmasters Association. CIW is a vendor-neutral, standardized measurement of technical competency in the areas of Internet technologies.
“We welcome all CIP professionals and candidates into the 12,000-plus member CIW program,” remarked Jerry Baird, CEO of ProsoftTraining.com. “Our number-one goal is to increase the benefits of being CIW-certified by enhancing the value and visibility of the program. Today, Novell has entrusted us to carry on the vision of its pioneering Internet certification.”
Novell launched the groundbreaking CIP program in 1996, when its customer base began moving toward an Internet-centric networking model. As the nature of the Internet evolved, Novell adapted the program to meet the changing needs of its customers.
“Due to changes in the nature of the Internet, the CIP program has become more vendor-neutral over time,” remarked Jim Greene, Novell Education Director. “We believe that our CIP professionals will benefit greatly by being part of the most respected vendor-neutral Internet certification program in the world.”
Baird said, “Novell brought certification to the IT industry, and certified professionals have always been among the leaders in their field. Together, we will continue to shape the CIW program and take it to a new level.”
Novell and ProsoftTraining.com also announced that they will cross-map all their respective certifications, to make it easier for professionals to attain dual certification. As part of that effort, Novell and ProsoftTraining.com are making available a package of incentives for CIPs as well as the more than 150,000 current Certified Novell Engineers (CNEs) and Master CNEs (MCNEs). The package includes preferred access to CIW certification through ProsoftTraining.com’s i-Accelerate program and special pricing on CIW exams.
“The CIW i-Accelerate program is the perfect accompaniment to a Novell certification,” commented Julie Rowe, ProsoftTraining.com’s vice president of products and programs. “It credits Novell professionals for their high levels of achievement and gives them the additional prestige of CIW certification. These dual-certified individuals will add tremendous value to employers running corporate and e-commerce systems.”
All CIPs and candidates will be officially notified of the merger via postal mail in the next few weeks. In the meantime, CIPs and candidates are encouraged to update their contact information and enroll in the CIP2CIW program at http://www.cip2ciw.com or by calling toll-free 800-228-1027 in the U.S. or 602-275-7700 from other areas.
