London, UK (PRWEB) October 17, 2007 --- Canonical Ltd, the commercial sponsor of Ubuntu, today announced it has signed an agreement for iB -- Group Cegos to deliver Ubuntu Certified Professional training in France. iB will deliver official courses in Paris la Defense from December 2007.

These courses are among a series of classroom and e-learning courses launching in 2007.
The Ubuntu community in France, translators, developers and partners have really made this all happen. There is such strong demand for open source software in France and interest in Ubuntu that we are delighted that certified training is now available.
The deployment of Ubuntu on desktops in the French parliament, the availability of pre-loaded systems from Dell and the awareness of Ubuntu's ease of use and stability have all driven demand," commented Chris Kenyon, Canonical's Director of Business Development. He continued, iB - Group Cegos have the presence, reputation, experience and now also trained Ubuntu instructors, making them an excellent partner for Canonical."
Gael Salomon, iB General Manager, highlights: The availability of Ubuntu training in France is a great opportunity for our customers: it dramatically simplifies people's access to open source technology and will speed up implementation time. The training programme fills the IT professionals' skills gap so enterprises can streamline Ubuntu deployment in a very safe way."
