As a result of the phenomenal growth of the wireless medium in recent years, Phoenix TS is now providing an exciting new array of courses focusing on Wireless networking and security through its partnership with the CWNP certification program (Certified Wireless Network Professional).

CWNP is the industry standard enterprise Wi-Fi certification. Through CWNP and using their official curriculum, Phoenix TS will offer training courses focused on the 802.11 wireless networking standards.

In addition to its courses, Phoenix TS will provide videos, white papers, blogs, and other materials published by CWNP that will assist our students in learning Wi-Fi technologies and preparing for CWNP certification and exams.

The IT training center, Phoenix TS, reached two milestones in the past month.

First off, we’ve just been certified by the Small Business Administration as a WOSB (Woman-Owned Small Business) within the SBA’s 8(m) program.  Unlike the SBA 8(a) program, which expires after nine years, the 8(m) program comes with no term limit.  It allows Phoenix TS to compete more effectively against the big players in the global market.

Perhaps more importantly, our IT training center has now been selected by EC-Council as a North American Center of Excellence for the second year in a row. Out of the hundreds of training organizations nationwide offering EC-Council training, only five centers received this great honor. (more…)

LandWarNet is the US Army’s total set of applications transmitted over its integrated networks.  The LandWarNet conference brings together all of the Army’s network management staff and leaders.  Learn more about the LandWarNet conference here: http://www.afcea.org/events/landwarnet/11/intro.asp.

This year’s IT conference theme is “Transforming Cyber While at War”.  As an exhibitor, Phoenix TS is among the very best contract organizations that are proud to be serving the United States Army in its efforts to increase its network’s effectiveness and security around the globe.

We’ll be highlighting our technical IT training capabilities such as 8570 compliance training, cyber security and network administration training in Microsoft, Cisco and other technologies, and our advanced classroom logistical setup capabilities enabling us to hold a class anywhere in the world, wherever the Army may need us.

Phoenix TS is a teenager! On August 5th our boutique Maryland IT training company celebrated its thirteenth birthday. So now we’re old enough to be dangerous!

Although we were a basement company for several of the last thirteen years, we have been on a steep rise as an organization in the past four years.

We have achieved much this year and we have great plans for the future.  A big piece of our strategy is achieving and maintaining partnerships with major players in the industry in order to expand our course offerings.

For example, below is the press release about our new Cisco partnership dated July 22, 2011.  We’re now officially able to provide Cisco certification & training in Maryland or wherever else our clients may be located.

But this is only the tip of the iceberg.  We have so much planned; we’re just bursting with excitement. 

All in good time.

This week we’re celebrating our one year anniversary in our new IT training center headquarters in Columbia, MD.  So much has changed in our first year here, yet so much remains the same.

Phoenix TS was incorporated back in 1998 and since then, we’ve trained thousands of IT and Management professionals from all types of organizations around the World. But until a year ago we only sent trainers to client sites, eliminating the need for a center with its own classrooms.

When we finally decided to expand and build our own facility, we wanted to do it right.  So we picked Columbia to be right in between the busy Baltimore and Washington markets, chose the Columbia Mall as the backdrop to our IT training center for our students’ convenience, used bright colors in our spacious and cozy break room, setup classrooms with snug chairs and bright open windows, built a large comfortable testing center, and created an all around welcoming and friendly atmosphere for our students to enjoy (Check out pics of our facility here).
