HALO IT
Technology doesn’t stand still. In fact, it’s imperative that every IT specialist keep acutely in-the-know about the latest and greatest innovations penetrating the marketplace. Having a keen awareness and educated-wisdom about what’s happening at the forefront of tomorrow’s technological advancements is essential. The ability to nurture awareness is how we grow, expand, and evolve into prosperous leaders; rather than live as followers always trying to catch up and make ends meet. Moreover, it’s absolutely essential for successful-thinking people and companies to have the unending mindset of training, learning, expanding, innovating, and reinventing possibility. Gaining access to the latest training, resources tools, and peer to peer collaboration, via HALO IT, is an invaluable asset for companies to elevate their relevance and success, not to mention individual job security and personal pride. The HALO IT program is the practical application for developing enhanced ingenuity. HALO gives its IT users insightful advantages about how to manage the critical technologies that keep the organizations they work for running efficiently and profitably. HALO IT affords its working professionals an abundance of leading-edge information, learning tools, and resources when YOU need them – in the areas of expertise YOU most benefit.
Courses & Certifications
HALO IT provides access to over 3,000 courses covering the most popular technology brands such as Microsoft, Cisco, Novell, CompTIA, VMWare, Oracle, and Linux. Our IT program gives its users the invaluable aptitude to continue building their knowledge base, and help prepare each initiative-taking member for over 60 IT certifications. Hundreds of business related courses are available. Each module will support elevating members in illuminating new and exciting career advancement opportunities. All together, 4,000 courses are accessible.
Have negotiated a price with Brian Broumas, President of HALO University for all SDSUG Members. The Normal cost for a Yearly Tuition is $290.00 a year, but for SDSUG members we get a 10% discount, so the cost is $261.00 a year. There are over 4,000 online courses and you can take as many courses as you want to complete during the year for this price. The CODE you need to use is SDSUG to get this discount. See the attached document for more information. Please feel free to share this with other IT Members within and outside your Company/Organization.
