Avanzo and Ethernalia sign a collaboration agreement for the jointly development of courses and contents on Technological Security

October 2007. The surprisingly growing business demand in training and sensitizing in terms of Technological Security, has found in Ethernalia and Avanzo two allies willing the above mentioned to stop being pending subjects in organizations.

Avanzo and Ethernalia have just signed a collaboration agreement for the jointly development of both courses and contents on Technological Security in order to enable organizations (Public Administration and Large Corporations have shown special interest in this subject) to access Ethernalia's areas of knowledge in terms of Technological Security.

Avanzo's experience -as a leader in the e-learning sector- together with Ethernalia's know-how, allow the development of "training/learning pills" as an excellent tool for users. Besides it is worth pointing out that this training format is also compatible with a multiple distribution channel.

The agreement likewise considers the possibility of offering complementary services such as organization of seminars, tutorship on Security matters, consultancy and jointly development of projects in terms of Applied Investigation.
