Training Synergy’s Niall Shanahan honoured at IT Training Awards
A capacity audience of over 450 people attended the awards at The Dorchester, Park Lane.
Niall and the Training Synergy team were among those in attendace to see if Niall would be successful in his nomination for Freelance Trainer of the Year.
Unfortunately for Niall and the Team, he was pipped to the prize, finishing with the Silver Award, still a commendable achievement considering the quality and quantity of applicants.
Institute chief executive Colin Steed, addressing the audience at the awards ceremony, said:
“We are here tonight to celebrate the IT Training Awards – our annual celebration of outstanding achievement, best practice, and excellence in IT training. In December our judging panels worked through almost 60 presentations – where the most difficult task of deciding on the winners was accomplished. The job of a judge is becoming harder and harder each year. I would like to thank all of our judges, under the Chairmanship of Alan Bellinger, for giving up their time for us.”
“But what it really shows me, is just what influence the Institute has had in raising the standards of the world’s best training and development. The standards of all of the entries has been outstanding and to be a Finalist is a real achievement to be proud of. So let everyone congratulate every finalist here tonight.”
