ALMOND AND CERTI-TRUST COMBINE THEIR SKILLS IN A NEW, HIGH VALUE-ADDED PARTNERSHIP TO OFFER CUSTOMERS A NEW DIGITAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN INFORMATION SECURITY TRAINING.

Paris, October 19, 2020 – Participants in training courses delivered by Almond Institute will benefit from Certi-Trust’s digital learning platform, giving them access to a wealth of high-quality, didactic and highly interactive content in the field of Cybersecurity and Information Technology.
The CERTI-TRUST CERTI-TRUST GROUP group operates in France as an Organisme d’Évaluation de Conformité (OEC), offering certification services for people, management systems, inspection, assessment and product certification. In today’s environment, where companies increasingly need to virtualize the way they work, and in order to guarantee their customers an experience that lives up to their expectations, Certi-Trust launched a new Digital Learning platform last spring.
ALMOND INSTITUTE
is a training organization specializing in digital skills (information security, risk management, data protection, etc.), whose vocation is to share experience between Almond’s consultants and their customers, in order to support the companies that place their trust in us in developing their autonomy in the face of today’s Cyber challenges.
By placing its trust in us and choosing to become an Affiliated Training Organization (ATO), Almond Institute will be able to give participants in its training courses an unprecedented understanding of information security concepts and techniques, while benefiting from all the advantages offered by today’s enriched e-learning: organize your working time more flexibly, in both synchronous and asynchronous modes, and delve deeper into the subjects in a virtual group, supported by a recognized ISS expert who acts as both trainer and digital coach.
Pierre Dewez, Group Managing Director and CEO of Certi-Trust France.
Since May 2020, several certification courses have already been fully accessible via Digital Learning, such as the ISO 27001 Foundation, Lead Auditor or Lead Implementer courses, as well as the ISO 27005 Risk Manager course. Since then, over 40 people have been trained by Almond Institute, the majority of whom have obtained at least one professional certification from Certi-Trust.
Through an innovative Augmented Digital Pedagogy (ADP) offering, the DIGITAL
LEARNING enables participants to access all the course content in the Certi-Trust certification catalog (enriched slide shows, downloadable files, chaptered video capsules) and to train effectively using fun exercises (MCQs, interactive games, case studies, mock exams similar to real exam conditions) to prepare in the best possible conditions for the certification exam. Almond’s trainers are part of this process, covering theoretical subjects in depth, sharing their experience with participants and challenging them in real-life situations. The participant is then able to easily retrieve all these exchanges and all the content covered in his or her personal workspace for a year. This access allows each participant to deepen or revisit concepts, and to keep in touch with the trainer and other participants to discuss various topics. During this period, the participant benefits from all the new features published on the Digital Learning platform.
