Leading Microsoft training company celebrates 10 consecutive years of receiving top honors from Redmond magazine readers

CARY, N.C. and TORONTO - Global Knowledge has received three gold awards for Microsoft training in Redmond magazine's annual Reader's Choice Awards. This is the tenth year in a row Redmond readers have recognized Global Knowledge with top awards for training.

In this year's revamped survey, the Redmond Third-Party Reader's Choice Awards, Global Knowledge scored better than any other vendor to win gold in three categories:

• Microsoft Certification-Based Boot Camp Vendor
• Online, Disk-Based, or Instructor-Led Training Vendor
• Virtualization Training Vendor

Redmond magazine has published Reader's Choice Awards every year since the publication's inception. This year, in an effort to gain insight into which third-party products and services IT pros prefer when managing and complementing their Microsoft-based software, Redmond excluded Microsoft products from consideration.

"We are delighted to receive top honors from Redmond magazine readers year after year," said Michael Fox, Global Knowledge senior vice president of enterprise solutions and product development. "Redmond readers' continued endorsement of our Microsoft training reflects our enduring commitment to deliver superior Microsoft skills training and certification preparation with exceptional curriculum, hands-on labs, and experienced instructors."

Global Knowledge delivers a full schedule of Microsoft training worldwide and has received awards from Redmond magazine readers every year since 2003.
