India gets world’s largest offshore IT training campus

India’s capital, Delhi, has been selected as the location for the world’s largest offshore IT training campus. Set up by offshore training firm, Koenig Solutions, this campus is being claimed as the world’s largest offshore IT training facility.

The campus is spread over an area of 1672 sq m (18,000 sq ft) and includes 70 classrooms, 30 testing stations and offers end-to-end solutions that include accommodation, examination facilities, meals, daily transport, etc, all of which form part of the course fee.

The company currently has five centres in the country -- at Goa, Shimla, Dehradun, Delhi and Bengaluru. “There are plans in place to expand this network further to cover more such tourist centres,” Koenig Solutions CEO and founder Rohit Aggarwal said in a PTI report.

The company is looking to set up facilities in Chennai and Pune as well, Aggarwal added. “IT training and certification today is a $ 20 billion industry worldwide and the education tourism market in India alone could become $ 1 billion by 2020. Koenig’s education tourism business model is unique and aims to tap this growing market,” he said.
