Fort Worth, TX (PRWEB) February 9, 2005
Demand for certificate-based, online career training has steadily grown over the past five years. In particular, the past few years have shown significant growth in both domestic and international markets, says Tom Colvin, a partner with MCR Capital Advisors in Dallas and business advisor to Gatlin Education Services.
"We began our relationship with Gatlin in early 2001 and have seen their revenues grow nearly tenfold over this timeframe,” Colvin said.
Gatlin now offers over 50 unique online certificate programs through more than 400 educational institutions.
Online career training is a primary area of growth which will receive increased attention from colleges and institutions around the world, says Sean Gallagher, senior analyst for Eduventures, a research and consulting firm for the education industry.
"The average annual growth rate for a postsecondary education company in 2004 was 10%. Gatlin's expansion rate is significant in a segment that is leading the industry," said Gallagher. “The intersection between continuing ed and online ed is a very compelling market today.”
