London, 1 May 2018. Cenerva Ltd, an international telecoms consultancy with clients in over 50 countries, has acquired the Interconnect Communications (ICC) Training/TRMC (Telecoms Regulatory Master Class) assets from InterConnect Communications Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Telcordia Technologies Inc.) to support it in meeting the need for world-class regulatory training for telecoms professionals in emerging markets.
The deal will give Cenerva's clients the opportunity to access courses on global best practices on a wide array of regulatory topics. These will help regulators in regions such as Africa, Central America, Asia the Caribbean and the Middle East develop frameworks and policies that make telecoms technology work in their local environment. They will also help enable operators to engage with regulation in a way that promotes both economic and social benefit.
Since its launch in 2000, TRMC has developed into a suite of 11 courses, which have been attended by more than 2000 students from operators and regulatory bodies from over 60 countries. Traditionally, courses have largely been held in the UK. However, under Cenerva they will also be run in-country; for example, the Competition and Convergence course was delivered last month in Trinidad to delegates from TSTT and to the Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago.
The TRMC program will continue this year with a Regulatory TRMC course in the week commencing 9th July, and three TRMCs already planned for the autumn – Regulatory, Advanced Regulatory and Numbering.
