OREANDA-NEWS. June 09, 2009. In May 2009, SAP CIS appointed the IBA Training Center as its Preferred Training Partner. Being the first SAP-authorized training partner in the CIS, IBA is entitled to conduct education in SAP technologies and arrange workshops in cooperation with SAP in the IBA Training Center in Minsk, Belarus.

The first pilot project that SAP CIS launched on May 25, 2009 at the IBA Training Center as a Preferred SAP Training Partner was a virtual seminar (VLC). The regular SAP course components including theory, intercourse with an experienced SAP consultant and practical training are now available on-job for students in Minsk.

The IBA Training Center is planning to conduct a number of SAP workshops in the immediate future. On the course completion and examinations or knowledge testing, all successful graduates receive international certificates.

Why Authorized Courses?
The SAP-developed program of the course
SAP-developed teaching aids
SAP-certified teachers
In addition, the IBA Training Center was assessed to meet the requirements of Microsoft Learning Solutions and thus became an authorized Microsoft Training Center.

Vladimir Dyubkov, Director of the IBA Training Center, comments: “The IBA Training Center’s portfolio is second to none in the CIS. The Center is authorized by IBM, SAP, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, Cisco Systems, and Novell. In addition, the Testing Center of the IBA Training Center has authorization from Prometric and Pearson VUE. As a result, we are able to provide high quality training in different areas of the most cutting-edge information technologies to professionals from Belarus and other countries. In fact, international cooperation has already gained momentum. For example, a number of groups from Russia were trained at the Center last year and a teacher of the IBA Training Center is training professionals in Kazakhstan at present. I feel confident that in the future such projects will be organized on a regular basis.”
