HP takes over classroom

HP's Education Services will be adding the Certified Internet Webmaster (CIW) curriculum to its offerings this week as the vendor embarks on a national education road show.

HP will be offering three units of the CIW course designed to bring people up to speed on Web site design, application development, server administration, inter-networking, security and e-commerce in a multi-vendor environment. Offered by Prosoft through HP as an authorised training partner, the five-day courses will also bone people up on BroadVision's e-commerce software and HP's own e-speak technology.

Some courses begin this week, but the majority are being held in the first half of next year. CIW courses are held in Sydney and Melbourne, and run for five days at a cost of $2500.
