Thomson Provides Web-Based Technical Training

Thomson Grass Valley has announced that it will offer a new Web-based training opportunity for its customers and partners, known as Thomson Grass Valley University.

Its first offerings include interactive sessions on fundamentals of computer networking and the MediaEdge IP-based video delivery platform. The online courses are intended to augment the organization’s conventional classroom training.

“Thomson Grass Valley University dramatically expands educational opportunities for our broadcast and professional video customers around the world,” said Jeff Rosica, senior vice president of Thomson’s Broadcast & Professional Solutions business unit. “Our new Web training portal will become a destination for users who want to enhance their skills without traveling to a physical classroom location. Our intuitive user interface, high production values, and powerful management tools immediately set the standard for online learning in the broadcast industry.”

Thomson Grass Valley will continue to expand the number of course offerings available. Access to the classes is via a standard Web browser and Internet connection. The Web site set up for the training opportunities is university.thomsongrassvalley.com.
