SkillCircle.com offers over 500 courses to you or your company.  During many months of analysis, we sought a vendor who could help us by creating the courses, provide accurate content and assessment tools, and who could offer us easy installation and technology.

We chose a company called MindLeaders.  Founded in 1981, MindLeaders was founded to produce custom self-paced courses in real-time through mainframe SNA networks.  As technology moved to LANS and the Internet, Mindleaders moved with the Technology. 

Because of our focus on technology courseware and the quality of the student experience, Mindleaders became the clear choice; with over 500 courses in Technology and many features and benefits not found with other online training firms.
