Discounts On IBM Education Packs

14 December 2007 Keywords: , , , , , , , , , ,

Previously, we’ve talked about the IBM Jumpstart program. We received a great response regarding the FREE System-i half day course and the more in depth three day course.

Well, in addition to the Jumpstart courses, IBM Education has introduced customised training for whatever your company’s IT department requires. These come in the form of education packs, or ED Packs. You can purchase pre paid ED Pack vouchers of $5,000, $10,000 or $20,000 and when purchasing through Computer Merchants you will receive a 5, 8 or 10% discount respectively.

Did you know IBM offers onsite custom education courses tailored to your needs?

Here’s what you get when you pre pay for an ED Pack:

  • You have up to 12 months to use your education pack
  • IBM comes to your premises if required, or you can choose a venue that works for you
  • You can talk with tutors beforehand to help design the course that fits best for you
  • You can have many in a class environment or one on one training if preferred
