Business for Sale Overview:
This business was established over ten years ago as a specialist Information Technology training company with the aim of providing application software education to members of the business community on the Isle of Man.
The business has been built with an ethos based on integrity, openness and value for money. Most of the courses provided were initially aimed at users of popular, generally Windows based, user applications such as Email, Databases, Spreadsheets, Word processing, Graphics and Web Page design. Technical courses have since been developed, relevant to Windows usage and programming Visual Basic and writing T-SQL.
Some seven years ago the business made a strategic acquisition that has further expanded the number and types of courses being offered including the incorporation of a full, very extensive, range of Human Resource soft skills courses. The principal, generic, areas addressed are management and leadership skills, personal management and communication skills as well as project based training.
In addition the company develops many tailored courses, addressing specific customer needs, incorporating elements of all courses currently available for a large number of organizations both on and off the Isle of Man.
Efforts have been made to ensure that the customer base is truly representative of the Isle of Man business profile. The company is proud to include manufacturing, travel, retail, primary production and service companies in its portfolio of clients as well as the majority of the international finance organizations represented on the Isle of Man.
