Editor's Note
=============
TrainingZONE are pleased to include in this edition of the IT
Trainers Newswire an exclusive interview TrainingZONE held with
Colin Steed, the new Chief Executive of the Institute of IT
Training with his ideas and thoughts as to how he hopes to lead
this Institute forward into the 21st Century.

Positive changes to the Institute are promised by Colin to ensure
that IITT members benefit from their membership and that they
belong to an organisation that represents and supports the IT
Trainer in their profession. The aim of the Institute is to
heighten the profile of the IT Trainer as a professional in exactly
the same way as teachers are in their teaching profession. IT
Trainers are the Teachers of Industry, quotes Colin, and should be
recognised as such. A statement that TrainingZONE wholeheartedly
agree with.

This newsletter covers a range of stories for the IT Trainer from
general training issues through to latest software/hardware
releases from a variety of organisations and is intended to keep
you informed of as many IT issues of relevance that can be found.

TrainingZones dedicated IT Training pages can be found at

benefit other trainers.
