3 Introduction Ericsson has developed a comprehensive Training Programs service to satisfy the competence needs of our customers, from exploring new business opportunities to expertise required for operating a network. The Training Programs service is delineated into packages that have been developed to offer clearly defined, yet flexible training to target system and technology areas. Each package is divided into flows, to target specific functional areas within your organization for optimal benefits. The delivery of the Learning Products is realized by various Services: Icon Service Instructor Led Training (ILT) Virtual Classroom Training (VCT) elearning (WBL) Workshop (WS) Short Article (SA) Structured Knowledge Transfer (SKT) mlearning Job duty analysis (JDA) Competence GAP Analysis (CGA) Commercial in Confidence
