Benefits of Becoming an AITP
Ability to purchase and customize any and all titles.
Authorized Independent Training Providers for IBM Systems (AITPs) have access to all IBM ILT courseware and products from Element K including over 200 of the latest and greatest titles that those who are not authorized are not eligible to purchase. AITPs can also rely on Element K to provide a variety of customization services when an “off-the-shelf” book doesn’t provide the exact content needed for an instructor-led class. Instructors have the ability to configure and create a manual with courseware modules in the order that they choose, a custom table of contents, custom footers, and then even brand it with their own logo. Reliable delivery is always the norm, as books will be shipped within 3 to 4 days after final proof approval.
