New Horizons Computer Learning Centers is an IT training company with over 300 locations in 72 countries. New Horizons Computer Learning Centers Inc. is a subsidiary of New Horizons Worldwide Inc. New Horizons operates as a franchise model to support the worldwide expansion of its training centers. [1] [2]
New Horizons provides instruction in the use of personal computers, computer software, and business skills. It offers vendor-authorized training and certifications for Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA, and VMware. Training methods include instructor-led courses, both in-person and online, as well as self-directed labs.
New Horizons was founded by Michael Brinda in Laguna Hills in 1982. In 1985, after adding Lotus and C++ to its curriculum, the company moved to larger offices in Irvine. The addition of classes in Windows programming in 1988 necessitated another expansion to offices in Santa Ana. By 1992, further additions to its course offerings enabled the company to expand nationwide. The first international location opened in Mexico City in 1993.
The following year, New Horizons was purchased by Handex Consulting & Remediation LLC, [3] which resulted in further international expansion into South America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. At this point, New Horizons had become one of the largest network of Microsoft Authorized Technical Education Centers (ATECs). The company's first European location (in Barcelona) was opened shortly thereafter.
In 1996, New Horizons began trading on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol NEWH (changed to Nasdaq: NWRZ on Sep. 17, 2009). [4] Within a year, New Horizons became one of the largest independent IT training company in the world with over 154 training centers and 100 Microsoft Certified Technical Education Centers (CTECs).
New Horizons and the EC-Council became partners in 2004 to deliver Certified Ethical Hacker and Countermeasures Training.
In 2011, New Horizons was granted VMware Authorized Training Center Status, allowing North American centers to deliver VMware training. [5]
In 2019, New Horizons (Spokane) was fined $120,000 by the US Department of Justice to resolve false claims related to the GI Bill. [6]
