IT training levels

A survey of 183 UK organisations conducted by the British Computer Society has shown that more than 80 percent of employers in the UK agree that it’s important to develop the professional skills of their IT teams.

Although 40 percent of employers considered it was important to provide an externally accredited professional development scheme only 9 percent of organisations actually provide a professional development programme.

Half of the respondents said their organisations would probably purchase professional IT career development courses at £250 per delegate per day, but interest dropped significantly at higher price points of £450 and £850.
