Global Knowledge named "Citrix CALC of the Year 2009" for Southern Europe

On November 10 at the Citrix Partner Summit 09 in Munich, in the presence of training distributors and partners in EMEA, Global Knowledge France was awarded again the award of the "CALC of the Year "for 2009 and the Southern European region.

CALC is the name of the program reserved for authorized organizations, Certified Citrix Authorized Learning Centers. Global Knowledge, the largest privately held provider of IT training in Europe, delivers already for over 10 years certified Citrix training.

"This award reflects the best performance and compliance with CALC program rules" said Catherine Taquet (photo), who is in charge of relations with vendors and partners at Global Knowledge. "The CALC program rules mentioned concern among others our involvement in the preparation and certification of our instructors, the use of the official supporting tools as well as the evaluation tool used for training students"

Despite a drop in the training market that Citrix experienced this year across Europe, Global Knowledge has ridden the wave of virtualization solutions from the publisher (XenApp, XenServer, XenDesktop, etc..) and retains its leading role in France with a market share of 30.7%.
