"The reason for our success as a learning company, I believe, is our commitment to our purpose for existence which is to promote the value of lifelong learning," said Russell Sarder, CEO of NetCom Learning.

"We don't just use this purpose as a marketing slogan, it is part of our DNA, and we show that commitment every day as we do business, and with the Sarder Scholarships, and our free interactive webinars and the development of SarderTV," said Sarder.

Starting out with four vendor partners the company has now grown to partnering with more than twenty vendors including Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA, and PMI, offering more than 1,000 different classes in software applications, business coursework and soft skills.
