PETALUMA, USA & BANGALORE, INDIA: The LIDO Organization Inc., which provides telecommunication education, training, consulting and advisory services, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this summer by announcing its fall international training seminars and becoming a CompTIA Authorized Quality Curriculum (CAQC) for Convergence+ certification.

In addition, this year also marks the 10th anniversary of LIDO Telecommunications Essentials online training which has demystified telecom concepts and terminology for numerous business and educational organizations.

Presented in four parts online, this concise and comprehensive program covers the principles, technology and infrastructure of the telecommunications industry. In August, LIDO also will celebrate the 1st anniversary of LIDO Telecom Pvt. Ltd., which offers telecom content and eLearning solutions in India.

“Telecommunications is the critical infrastructure for the 21st century. In a global economy with nearly every facet of a business touched by intersecting information and communication technologies (ICT), companies need to understand the fundamentals of telecom to make their businesses function more efficiently,” stated Lillian Goleniewski, president, The LIDO Organization Inc.

“Whether they are in healthcare, education, entertainment, government, transportation, finance, national security, defense or public utilities –- these industries are dependent on ICT. LIDO helps them understand telecom fundamentals and close the widening skill gap between current industry technologies and professional knowledge.”

In October, business professionals can master telecom through LIDO’s intensive seminar program in just three days. Offered October 7-9 in Singapore and October 19-21 in London, the program allows operators, service providers, regulators, financiers, lawyers and government authorities to gain a solid grounding in telecom technologies, applications, and regulations.

Prospective attendees can register for the London seminar and the Singapore seminar.

For professionals not able to attend the seminars in person, they can access LIDO Telecommunications Essentials online and complete the course independently. The CompTIA Educational Foundation’s Creating Futures participants can access the program for free, through LIDO’s donation of 100 single-user licenses.
