The SIP School continues to establish itself as the provider of the global standard in SIP Training and certification by gaining a major partner in SoTel Systems. Based out of Saint Louis, Missouri, SoTel offers SIP services from trunking to collocation hosting services.

On deciding to offer The SIP School's range of SIP and VoIP training programs to SoTel clients, Value Added Resellers and SIP service agency channel, SoTel had this to say:

"The choice of SIP School was really not a decision at all. They are simply the best self-paced learning option for gaining not only knowledge of SIP Technology, but also how to sell it and the potential for an enterprise-class certification program for SIP through them is the 'icing on the cake.' This program is key to the education and certification of not only our Value Added Resellers but also our SIP channel partners. This is part of our complete plan for becoming the SIP Partner to have for all telecommunication VARs in 2011 and beyond." - Kevin Hill, Manager - Technical Assistance Center, SoTel Systems, LLC.

"Our partnership with The SIP School will allow us to leverage our knowledge of SIP trunking to strengthen our relationship with our partners and customers. Offering The SIP School's training will elevate our partners to a higher level of education, which is vital in today's competitive market." - Adam Goebel, Channel Director of Sales for SoTel Systems LLC

"The SIP School will enable our partners to have a true understanding of SIP. Our partners will not only know how to work with SIP service, but they will also understand how to get the most out of this new and exciting technology." - Nick Kramer, Channel Director of Inside Sales, SoTel Systems, LLC

Graham Francis, CEO of The SIP School said: "This partnership with SoTel is great for us. Being able to offer our training and certification to clients of SoTel with their great range of SIP services will further establish The SIP School as the industry's choice for learning and qualifying on SIP."

"The SIP School e-learning program is a great choice for companies who need to get their team trained on SIP whilst looking to slash travel and subsistence costs," he said. Francis added that The SIP School has been updated constantly to keep up with the ongoing development of SIP since its launch in 2007 and is confident that the inclusion of modules such as 'SIP in Unified Communications' will tempt even more companies to join up. "Our SSCA SIP certification is certainly the only one worth attaining as it's now recognized by so many important companies and organizations around the world."
