Friday 11th November 2011 - Forth Valley GIS and Salford GIS, two of the UK’s leading independent Geographic Information Solutions consultancy & training companies, have joined together in an exciting new partnership which will see collaborative GIS training being offered on a national scale.
The two companies, based in Stirling and Salford respectively, both have a long history of providing high quality, competitively priced, user-friendly GIS training to private and public sector organisations. This joint venture will see the collective resources of both companies being pooled in order to offer a national GIS training service that encompasses both commercial GIS products as well as OpenSource solutions.
Existing customers will have the opportunity to further their GIS knowledge, whilst those new to GIS training can be certain that the service they receive at either location will be of the highest quality and will deliver real value for money in the current economic climate. In addition to a comprehensive program of pre-set courses, both Forth Valley GIS and Salford GIS will also continue to offer bespoke training courses to customers with specific needs.
Chief Executive of Forth Valley GIS Alan Moore commented; “This partnership gives both companies the chance to offer existing and new customers a wider range of training options; allowing them to undergo training that best meets their individual business needs”. Salford GIS Director Rob Knight echoed these sentiments; “By offering a range of training options over a wider geographical area, both companies can better deliver a truly valuable service. The combination of commercial and OpenSource training means there really will be something for everyone.”
The collaborative training venture will start with the launch of commercial GIS courses in December and Open Source and Data Management courses in January 2012.
