The representative of the training center will also advise on the organization of corporate training and offer the most effective ways to test the knowledge and skills of employees.

2020: Transfer of all courses to remote format

"Network Academy" LANIT(part of the company group LANIT) translates all courses into a remote format. Authorized and authoring training center programs are now available in webinar and cloud learning mode. In addition, the Network Academy opens a free subscription to Microsoft Office courses for beginners. This was announced on March 26, 2020 by LANIT.

According to the training center, over the past two weeks, the demand for distance courses has grown by 75%. About 60% of companies choose online broadcasts instead of the planned full-time training of employees. Some organizations see corporate training during the quarantine period as an opportunity to improve the qualifications of workers who were temporarily left without full load.

The demand for cloud-based personal learning, a special development of a training center that allows a teacher to fully control the learning process of each student, has increased by 34%: students not only study theory using video lectures and perform laboratory work, but also receive feedback as they complete training modules and complete tasks.

So that students do not interrupt their studies due to quarantine, the Network Academy has transferred its courses to a remote format. Although some students still choose full-time education, now you can connect to all curricula remotely - in the format of webinars/cloud learning - and listen to lectures, communicate with the teacher and perform practical tasks without leaving your home.

In addition, the training center opened free access to online courses on MS Office for beginners.

Despite the rapid growth of the online education segment, a significant part of the Network Academy's IT courses were traditionally held in person or in the Personal Learning format, which combines an individual approach and classroom education. Our students prefer to study with a break from production and personal contact with a teacher and colleagues. But the situation in the world is changing the habits of the majority, and it is important to see this as an opportunity for professional growth. After all, it is in times of crisis that the competence of a specialist and their development acquire special relevance, said Yulia Shikova, director of the LANIT Network Academy

2019: Revenue growth of 34%

On August 30, 2019, the Network Academy summed up LANIT the results of the past year. Over the year, the center's revenue increased by 34%, and the number of listeners increased by 18%. The increase was ensured by active work on expanding the range of courses and implementing a number of large-scale projects, the company said.

As of August 30, the center's educational programs include about 1,000 authorized and authoring courses for IT professionals, users and managers. More than 750,000 students were trained and received advanced training documents.

As part of cooperation with large employers in 2018-2019. the training center passed internships with the prospect of employment for novice programmers in Java and C#. More than 500 candidates were pre-selected for participation in the program, after which the most successful for 3 months studied the possibilities of programming languages. Based on the final assignment and interview, the best participants received a job offer. In the fall of 2019, the programs are planned to be repeated not only in Moscow, but also in St. Petersburg.

The development of electronic courses is another area of ​ ​ work of the Network Academy. More and more companies order both ready-made solutions (for example, courses on Microsoft Office) and created for the goals and tasks of the customer.

2018: 500,000 listeners

On February 16, 2018, the training center presented the student with a five hundred thousand certificate. Its owner was Russia Oleg Grachikov, an employee of the Scientific Research Center for Informatics at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who completed his studies at the five-day course "Administrative Management." Linux 500,000 listeners are people who have been trained at the center since its inception on August 30, 1995. According to Wikipedia, there are 492,000 inhabitants in Cheboksary, which means that if only residents of this city studied at the Network Academy, then the entire population would already own information technology. The Network Academy uses both distance and cloud learning formats, so people from different cities of Russia, as well as a number of foreign countries, study at our courses.

2017: IT Training Programs at UIA

The Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) and the training center "Network Academy LANIT" have launched educational programs for specialists in the field of information technology. Reception will begin in September 2017. For the first semester, it is planned to recruit 80 listeners.

The training of qualified IT specialists will be based on innovative programs of additional professional education. The theoretical base will be supplemented by practical exercises, as required by the IT industry. The LANIT Network Academy, which has a methodology and technology for training in practice-oriented IT programs, will help students develop and strengthen practical skills.

In 2017, MAI and the LANIT Network Academy plan to create four basic educational programs in the areas: Java development, IT Project Management, Linux, BigData and Business Intelligent.

The training will be held in a mixed format: offline classes will be organized at the Moscow Aviation Institute, and workshops and additional classes suggest an online format. Upon completion of the training, all students will receive certificates of the established model of the Moscow Aviation Institute, as well as certificates of completion of the courses of the LANIT Network Academy.

2016

300,000 graduates

Almost 300,000 specialists have become graduates of the Network Academy LANIT over the years of the training center.

2015-2016 school year

The most popular in the 2015-2016 academic year was the direction of consulting. The positive dynamics of the Network Academy was maintained in the field of authorized training, contrary to the pessimistic forecasts of analysts who predicted a fall in the education market. Despite the decline in purchasing power of IT departments and the impact of new regulatory requirements, the share of the training center in the market of courses for IT specialists authorized by foreign software and hardware manufacturers has grown. For example, Microsoft's share of training increased by 3.5%. The center's educational program portfolio includes more than 550 authorized and author courses.

One of the key areas of work of the LANIT Network Academy was the development of e-learning in a format providing for the constant support of students from teachers: such a practice for several years yielded high results in training observers for the Unified State Exam and GIA. In 2016, on a special portal, the egebook.ru Training Center posted courses for a number of specialists involved in organizing and conducting state exams, some of which were developed by the Network Academy of LANIT, and some by the Moscow Center for the Quality of Education. More than 78,300 people registered for training in these courses, and 61,744 people passed and received certificates for the final test. If we analyze the ratio of registered and trained, we will see that 79% of those who registered for the course studied - this is the highest result for distance learning, indicating the competent motivation of students to study and their timely support (during the training period, two hotlines worked at the Network Academy: one helped to cope with technical difficulties, the second - methodologists advised on substantive issues of the course).

Among the major projects implemented by the training center for the 2015-2016 academic year, a special place was taken by the training of users of GIS housing and communal services, a federal centralized information system containing all information on the state of housing and communal services in Russia. To teach how to work in the system, a line of courses was developed - for management organizations, associations of homeowners, housing construction and other cooperatives, resource-supplying organizations, state authorities at the level of subjects and local self-government. During 300 training events organized by the Ministry of Communications of Russia, teachers of the Network Academy trained more than 16 thousand students. The total potential audience of GIS housing and communal services users, excluding citizens - individuals, is approximately 200 thousand people out of 56 thousand organizations. It is planned to continue to hold educational events in the capital and regions.

The projects of the training center involve their own video studios and experienced professionals of the e-learning group. Continuing the development of modern training methods based on current and promising developments, in the 2015-2016 academic year, the Network Academy gained experience for Russia in introducing one of the most effective interactive platforms for internal corporate training, distributing electronic publications and information materials based on the Active Textbook system. The specialists of the training center conducted electronic (distance) training of about 1000 employees of the Social Insurance Fund, within the framework of which the Active TextBook tutorial development technology and cloud content storage technologies were successfully applied.

2015

10,000 listeners annually

Every year, about 10,000 students and about 30,000 people are trained in authorized courses of the LANIT Network Academy as part of large projects.

2014-2015 school year: 20 years in business. 2nd place in the IT training services market

In 2015, it took 2nd place in the IT training services market in Russia. The share of the training center reached 5.8%, IDC noted in the annual study Competitive Profiles and Analysis of Leading IT Services Players in Russia. The turnover of the Network Academy for the 2014-2015 academic year increased by 4% compared to the previous period.

Yulia Shikova, director of the Network Academy training center, said: "The direction of complex programs has developed most actively. The Network Academy, together with Microsoft, has successfully launched a new Certification pack service on the additional vocational education market, which includes a vendor course and an exam voucher. This initiative helped the training center increase Microsoft's course market share by 1.6%. " In the future, we will focus on the development of e-learning. At the same time, the main emphasis will be placed on forms providing for the constant support of students from teachers. A new direction will remain important - the development of comprehensive programs focused on the fastest and most convenient for listeners to receive relevant specialties on the market. Each of these programs will have a significant practical component, allowing students to form the skills necessary for the "here and now" market.

Graduates of the Network Academy, 2012

In 2015, the Network Academy implemented several large educational projects, including a training program for public observers for USE procedures. The specifics of the project - registration for training is available to everyone. The training center received 17 thousand applications. Half of the students completed their training. In just 2 years of the existence of the Network Academy program, more than 12 thousand public observers for the Unified State Exam have been released.

Among the major projects implemented by the center in the 2014-2015 academic year, the development of an educational environment for full-time training of students to work with the Unified Medical Information and Analytical System of the city of Moscow and large-scale training of Sber Tech employees.

Yury Lyovin, Deputy Director of the LANIT Network Academy Training Center, said: "We strive to expand the boundaries of professional additional training, to introduce new forms of communication with students. We have long had our own video studio, whose specialists successfully prepare video material for courses. Now we have gained experience in shooting and editing various videos. This is a new area of ​ ​ our business, which we plan to develop, and use professional developments in the preparation of educational video. "

Over 20 years of operation, the Network Academy has trained more than 150 thousand specialists and completed 50 large-scale educational projects. The training center employs 25 qualified instructors, and the portfolio of educational programs includes more than 500 authorized (from 20 vendors) and author's courses. Network Academy intends to maintain its leadership position by expanding the number of services and developing new business areas.

2014

Turnover growth by 31%

The Network Academy Training Center LANIT increased turnover by 31% compared to the 2013-2014 academic year. Growth in the context of the general stagnation of the additional segment formations Russia in was ensured by the implementation of a number of large-scale projects.

Director of the Network Academy of LANIT Shikova Yulia: "By the beginning of the school year, corporate clients' interest in educational projects had grown. This is due to the rapid development of distance, electronic and cloud learning. It affects the growth of the segment of additional education and the active position of the state in the implementation of information technologies in the work of various departments. It is necessary to train not only civil servants who ensure the functioning of the service delivery system, but also users - citizens of Russia, for whom access to new services can pose certain difficulties.

In the 2013-2014 academic year, specialists of the LANIT Network Academy implemented a number of educational projects. Among the largest are the training of public observers for the USE. 14,607 people from 83 constituent entities of the Russian Federation were able to remotely undergo training using stationary computers, tablets and phones online and offline. This feature was realized thanks to the use of the high-tech Active Textbook platform used by the Network Academy for such projects.

A significant project is also the training of doctors in the city of Moscow. The goal of the project is to train medical professionals in the use of information technology in anticipation of the introduction of an electronic medical record in the Moscow health care system. Within the framework of the Network Academy project, 3 training programs were developed for doctors, designed for different levels of initial training. "According to our statistics, collected before the development of courses, about 60% of metropolitan doctors had very modest experience with a computer. Basically, this category of specialists includes experienced diagnostics and specialists who have been in the profession for more than a dozen years and have valuable knowledge and experience. To implement the project, we created 16 mobile classes intended for deployment directly in Moscow polyclinics. To date, 6,984 medical workers have been trained, "said Yury Lyovin, deputy director of the LANIT Network Academy.

In the 2013-2014 academic year, the center trained the press secretaries of the courts to work effectively with the media. Almost 300 specialists of judicial instances from 83 constituent entities of the Russian Federation were trained.

2013-2014 academic year: "Lanit Network Academy" and "Microinform" formed an alliance in the hope of surviving

Training centers "Network Academy Lanit" and "Microinform" announced in November 2014 the creation of an alliance for joint training of IT specialists. The structures remain completely independent of each other (a new brand is not being created), but^[1] in^[2].

Companies draw an analogy with air travel, in which a passenger arriving at the airport very often does not know which plane he will fly, and which company will carry out transportation - he relies on the air alliance. The partners are confident that the alliance will allow each center (regardless of which of them the client refers to) to offer a full range of personnel training services. Both centers will form a unified system for managing sales of services, a pool of teachers and a technical support service. At the same time, as the general director of Microinform Boris Fridman says, at the moment there is no talk of reducing staff, although this will depend on the future dynamics of sales. Moreover, he hopes that in the near future the companies will be able to increase their joint staff.

The directions of the educational process of both companies practically do not overlap. Lanit Network Academy is an authorized training center for companies, Cisco,, Citrix Systems,, etc IBM Apple Android. Adobe The Microinform training center presents educational services of such companies as,, on the Russian market. EMS VMware Symantec BMC Software The only common vendor is. Microsoft

Each of the centers has its own special training technologies. So, the "Network Academy" has developed and uses personal, including "cloud" (via the Internet) training. Microinform implements large corporate projects using webinars. Combining these services is designed to improve the efficiency of the educational process, and customers should be able to spend more efficiently by placing a comprehensive training order in a single structure.

2013: Turnover growth of 26%

The training center "Network Academy LANIT" produced more than 6 thousand hours of author's training video content in 136 courses within the framework of the "Personal Training" format. According to the results of the 2012-2013 academic year, the center's turnover increased by almost 26%, profitability - more than 2 times.

Personalization is one of the main trends in IT learning. This trend - gaining knowledge according to a personal schedule - will continue in 2014. The interest of students in personal training is explained by the quality of the education received. Studies conducted by the center's specialists among people who chose this format showed that students rate their progress in gaining knowledge twice as much and take exams 30% better than the traditional form of study.

In the summer of 2013, the LANIT Network Academy launched a cloud-based training format. Courses in the "Cloud Personal Training" format are held remotely, but this is a full-fledged training with all its necessary elements. The teacher communicates with the student individually using personal communication tools, checks and gives comments on the performance of laboratory work, which significantly increases the quality of education compared to distance self-learning. Along with educational materials, specialists of the LANIT Network Academy have developed more than 52,000 tests in 256 author and authorized courses.

Along with the development of training methods at the LANIT Network Academy, the company continues to work on a project to create Russia electronic tutorials based on the ActiveTextBook technology of the Canadian company Evidence Point Software Corp. (part of the LANIT group of companies). E-books will be available on devices running operating systems iOS and, Android as well as on platforms, and. Microsoft Windows Linux Mac OS Textbooks will be presented both in the online version, which can be read through any browser, and offline. The material is reliably protected from copying.
