NEW YORK, July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dice, the leading career
website for technology and engineering professionals, today launched Dice
Learning (dicelearning.com) -- a service for technology professionals to
easily obtain valuable technical training and certifications needed to advance
their careers. Dice Learning provides a powerful search engine offering
access to over 50,000 training programs across major technology skill areas
including materials from technology stalwarts such as IBM and Sun
Microsystems Learning Services, and pre-screened third-party training
providers authorized by vendors to develop and teach courses on their
technologies.
"Traditionally, finding the right training and certification is hit or
miss, leaving tech professionals with more work to identify the right courses
and providers," said Tom Silver, Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing
Officer, Dice. "Dice Learning cuts through the myriad of training offerings
to give tech professionals direct and easy access to what in our experience
are the best courses and learning materials available."
Dice Learning includes self-paced and instructor-led classes,
certification tracks, bootcamps, books, videos, and seminars. Training
materials are available through partners who were selected based on their
reputation, scope of services, number of locations for training centers,
authorizations by hardware and software providers, and the quality of training
curriculum. The screening process removes the burden from technology
professionals to evaluate the efficacy of different offerings.
Additionally, Dice Learning matches required skills from thousands of
Dice.com job postings with training materials necessary to build those skills.
The breadth of learning methods combined with Dice Learning's optimized search
engine allows technology professionals to find training based on their
preferred method of study in one search, as well as help them further their
careers.
Courses offered by Dice preferred providers come with a money back
guarantee. If an individual fails to pass the certification exam related to
the purchased course in the second try, the individual will be refunded the
entire cost of the courseware, class, or bootcamp for that exam. See
learning.dice.com/discounts.php for details.
