Global Knowledge the worldwide leader in IT and business skills training today announced the relocation of its Cairo office and training center to Sheraton Heliopolis from Korba Heliopolis. The company’s new headquarters house additional classrooms and offers a state of the art learning environment, reflecting Global Knowledge’s commitment in continually maximizing value for its customers.
Global Knowledge’s investment in its Egypt operations comes at a time when recent political events have resulted in an uncertain economic climate, with other companies freezing or decreasing investment in the country. The company’s relocation and expansion thus reflects its long standing dedication to Egypt and growing the Egyptian IT training market.
Commenting on the announcement, Global Knowledge's Maged Thabet, Managing Director of Egypt and North Africa said, “We’re extremely pleased to be relocating to our new Sheraton headquarters, giving us additional classroom space and state of the art facilities. It is a strong reflection of Global Knowledge’s unwavering commitment to Egypt and our valuable customers here. We’re certain our new facilities will further maximize the value and return customers receive from our training.”
With its new facilities, Global Knowledge has enhanced the value for class attendees by providing even more classrooms and completely upgrading them and its testing center. The company’s new six floor office features 24 classrooms and labs, fully equipped with the latest computers and network infrastructure. Its testing center also offers the latest infrastructure, vendor software and testing equipment to simplify the testing and certification process. In total, Global Knowledge offers over 1,500 courses in Egypt from basic network troubleshooting to advanced level certifications from leading vendors in the IT industry.
In addition to the new state of the art learning environment, those attending Global Knowledge classes can benefit from additional amenities for a convenient and enjoyable learning experience. The new office and course center offers comfortable class break, cafeteria and lounge and entertainment areas for class attendees.
“As part of our customer focused philosophy, we have designed the facilities in a way that we will be meeting not only their current but future training needs as well as providing top flight amenities for their convenience and comfort,” concluded Thabet.
