>>About Us <<

Specialized Solutions, Inc., is celebrating its fifth year of providing our customers with quality training materials and cost effective solutions for the certification requirements of computer professionals. Our products include software, books, network, and professional certification programs. In our five short years, we have experienced phenomenal growth, evolving from a one-room office to an 8,000 square foot building complete with a fully functioning digital production studio. Much of our success can be attributed to our employee's dedication and principles to foster high levels of professional competence and business ethics personally and throughout the computer industry.

Specialized Solutions, Inc. is now a solely woman owned and operated business. Carrie Cameron founded Specialized Solutions. Carrie serves as President and oversees operations, Customized Curriculum and new product development. Carrie has a background in computer science and more than ten years of technical sales and marketing experience.

Our staff is comprised of computer and educational professionals. Our goal is to provide quality, easy to use technical training materials written and produced in highly comprehensible formats. The customer's needs are of paramount concern in the writing and design of our training aids and materials.

We call our method of delivery the "Learn As You Earn" program. We have addressed the fact that most IT professionals cannot afford the time or money required to complete classroom instructed training programs. In addition to providing cost effective solutions to large corporations, this also addresses the needs of a large segment of the evolving computer industry that consists of small (less than twenty employees) companies. These companies often do not have the resources necessary to send their technical people to formal training facilities for courses that can last from three to five days to four to six weeks.

One of our most popular certification programs is the "A+ Boot Camp". This program includes videotapes, workbooks, computer-based training and skill assessment software designed to prepare student s for the A+ Certification test. While intended for use as self-paced training for the individual, it has gained acceptance as curriculum in many instructor-led programs. In response to not only a growing Spanish speaking population within this country, but also to emerging Caribbean Basin and South American countries, Specialized Solutions has added a Spanish version of this popular program.

In the spring of 1998, Specialized Solutions, Inc followed the "A+ Boot Camp", with the introduction of the "CDIA+" (Certified Document Imaging Architech) Training and Test Preparation" package. This package is structured to meet CompTIA's certification requirements for this nationally recognized credential in the document imaging industry. It includes a textbook, a set of five training videos and a practice exam simulator on CD-ROM. This package is designed to provide the student with all the tools and support needed to successfully complete the CDIA+ certification.

Last year, CompTIA introduced "Network+ Certification". In response, Specialized Solutions is introducing its "Network+ Training and Test Preparation" package. Just like the "A+ Boot Camp", this training package includes videotapes, workbooks, computer-based training and skill assessment software.

In early 2001 we developed our i-Net+ Training course to meet the growing need for techies wanting to get certified in CompTIA's latest offering. The i-Net+ covers all the basics leading to "Webmaster" certification. This training package consists of 8 CD-ROMs or 5 Videotapes, a Study guide, and a Practice exam simulator on CD-ROM. This course is like the "A+" course for the internet. If you are thinking about getting into the IT field the three courses that will start you out with a great understanding of the different areas are: A+, Network+, and i-Net+. You'll have a better idea what area of IT you'd like to specialize in, and will be well prepared to start your new career direction!

In addition to the CompTIA certifications, Specialized Solutions also offers a number of computer application and network certification packages. They include: Microsoft Certification - MCSE, Exchange Server, Internet Information Server, Networking Essentials, NT Server and Workstation certifications, TCP/IP as well as Microsoft Office 2000 application training materials; Unix, Novell Training & Certification including Novell CNA and CNE and CISCO Training and Certification.

We also have the capability of developing "Customized Curriculum" to meet specific customer needs. Existing curriculum can be developed into multimedia and web-based training. A program can also be created based upon specific customer objectives and goals. Our staff will work with the customer to assess their specific needs and will then develop a program to help them achieve their objectives. Some of the services that they offer include: digital video production (scripting, design, production and editing); video to CD-ROM conversion; self-study curriculum development, computer based training (CBT) development; practice exam development including the new CAT designs; online training and full web development.

A day rarely goes by that there is not an announcement of a new advancement in computer technology or of a revolutionary new software or web application. Today's computer technicians are hard-pressed to stay current within this fast evolving environment. Specialized Solutions, Inc. has met the challenge of providing training resources and will continue to do so into the next millennium.

We look forward to working with you and setting the standard for all your training and certification needs!

Enjoy looking around, and if you have any questions that we can help you with please just ask!
