Westcon Academy

The Westcon Academy was established in June 2005 after Westcon identified a need in the ICT workplace for free or low cost training for smaller dealers whose budgets are unable to accommodate vendor-hosted training initiatives which are geared towards the staff of larger reseller organizations.

Westcon Academy consists of three divisions, namely Westcon Academy Online, Westcon Academy South Africa and Westcon Academy Africa. Westcon Academy Online hosts free and cost effective web based training aimed to up-skill the Westcon SA and Africa resellers in the various technologies and vendor offerings.

Both Westcon Academy South Africa and Africa offer classroom based training focusing mainly on vendor specific training. For more information on the courses offered view the relevant training schedules.
