Legally Platinum - learning solutions for the legal sector in England and Wales
1st August 2007
Platinum Training Solutions has secured a contract with Certiport to provide IT Learning Solutions to the Legal Sector for England and Wales.
Signing off on the contract was Marie Taylor, Executive Vice President EMEA, Certiport together with Marion Coles and Deborah Ackland, Partners in Platinum Training Solutions.
Platinum Training Solutions introduced the MOS programme into the legal market in January 2000 enabling a top 20 law firm to accredit over 200 secretaries with the globally recognised qualification.
Since then Platinum has deployed and managed a large number of successful MOS roll outs within UK law firms. Platinum’s experience and success with their unique Legal MOS Programme incorporating their signature change management course – Rise to the Challenge - enables them to attain an astonishing 99% certification success rate.
Deborah Ackland has full responsibility for the management and development of Platinum’s Mobile Testing Centre together with its MOS Trainers, and is committed to regularly improving the Programme and service offered to clients.
“I am continually amazed at the impact this Programme has on individuals and organisations” says Deborah. “I have always been frustrated at the large investment law firms make in new technology and yet the limited expectation they have of those who use it. MOS empowers secretaries and others ensuring individuals and organisations gain maximum benefit from the investment in Microsoft products”.
Platinum now have the rights to manage IC3, Microsoft Office Specialist and the new Microsoft Business Certification (Office 2007 and Vista) within the legal market in the UK.
At the signing Marion and Deborah said “We are delighted with this opportunity to work with Certiport. We have always believed in the MOS programme and over the last 8 years it has proven to be an excellent benchmark for legal secretaries and support staff. It assists in raising skill sets and supports law firms in delivering a first class service to their clients.
Platinum is now in the unique position to provide the complete Legal MOS Template - managing change - pre-assessment – innovative learning – applied practice and testing – certification – that results in the efficient use of software and greater productivity
