E-learning company SkillSoft has completed its $270 million acquisition of NETg from The Thomson Corporation.

SkillSoft announced the takeover in October, and the move will add 1,000 NETg courses, to its courseware library. The company will now offer over 6,000 e-learning courses in 19 languages, over 14,000 unabridged IT and business books, summaries and executive reports, and more than 400 Leadership Development Channel video programs.

SkillSoft will also be incorporating the NETg virtual instructor-led training solutions under the name of SkillSoft Live Learning. SkillSoft plans to support the NETg content on its learning management system SkillPort and intends to integrate SkillSoft content with the major NETg learning management platforms.

Both integration efforts are expected to be completed by January 31, 2008.
