Why a special Corporate Education program?
A four-year degree program provides an
important, broadening and enlightening experience. But as a
practical matter, a considerable amount of subject matter from Computer
Science and IT Management programs can become obsolete within four years. This has driven the
popularity of highly focused vendor-authorized training and professional
certification programs.
Our local
area is blessed with a number of fine training and professional
certification organizations. Rather than dilute our efforts among
many providers, we have decided to seriously partner with one organization
to maximize our mutual efforts. Boston University Corporate
Education Center has been selected as our official training and
certification partner for a number of reasons.
-
BUCEC is certainly recognized as an excellent professional
training organization. This is not unique as there
are many other fine training organizations in our area but BUCEC
is certainly one of them.
A few unique attributes:
-
The staff and management of BUCEC clearly "gets it" as far as User
Group involvement.
-
BUCEC has proven that they are willing not only to present at user
group meetings but they can also create a custom syllabus tailored
for specific user group needs.
-
BUCEC uses eight facilities located throughout our local user group
coverage area.
-
Boston User Groups, Inc. is considered as a "corporation" by
BUCEC. Affiliated user groups now qualify for meaningful
discounts.

Training and professional certification
is available for:
These
programs can include both boot-camps and extended classroom commitments.
Other programs focus on general IT skills and professional management
development.
|
Boot-camps are a popular option for experienced IT
professionals who desire a specific certification. Boot camps
are not intended for career changers or for students new to
the IT field. Note that certain BUCEC boot-camp programs have
a three week duration as opposed to the more common two week
variety. It is reasonable to assume that this longer duration
program leads to better retention.
Traditional courses of much longer
duration are suggested for career changers or students new to IT.
