About CramSession<br />
<br
/>
Founded in 1998, CramSession was developed to fulfill
specific needs within the IT certification market.
<br
/>
<br />
Community - Direction - Advice -
Education - Products - ResourcesCramSession developed a
community of IT students and professionals by providing support and
direction to certification candidates who are overwhelmed with the
deluge of certification information out there; necessary, and
unnecessary. The company became committed to streamlining the
certification process, and has been able to offer assistance with
professional advice, peer discussion groups, resource links and our
flagship product, CramSession Study Guides.
<br />
<br
/>
CramSession boasts over 270 study guides which have been
downloaded over 3 million times to date. 15 million emails are sent
each month to almost 1,000,000 network administrators, PC techs,
programmers, IT trainers, webmasters, security professionals, IT
managers and computer technology students worldwide.
<br
/>
<br />
Since its inception, CramSession has expanded
its product line to include practice exams, audio training products
and test vouchers, further simplifying the certification experience
for IT candidates. A strategic alliance with Pearson Technology
Group (PTG) and Que Certification (the largest publishers of
certification books in the world), solidifies CramSession's
leadership position in the IT certification web space.
