Western Electric Computer Courses

New York -- May 17, 1983 -- PRN -- Western Electric's total commitment to high quality customer support continues with the announcement of a line of professional-level computer courses for the UNIX(A) System V operating system.

The courses were designed for management, operations, user and maintenance groups, and will be offered at Western Electric's Corporate Education locations beginning June, 1983. Individually, the courses address all facets of UNIX System V activity. Together, they form a complete education program.

The 16 courses are organized by five curricula paths designed to allow customers the flexibility of custom-tailoring the education most relevant to their specific needs.

The availability of the first ten courses in the UNIX System V curricula was announced this week at the National Computer Conference in Anaheim, Calif.
