EngineKey Note has estimated the information technology
(IT) training market to be worth £442m in 1996, following a revision of
the 1995 figure to £311m. The growth rate achieved by companies in the
market has increased dramatically in the past year to 60 percent, but it is felt that
much of this was due to the introduction of Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0. IT
training is increasing its share of the total UK training market and now stands
at 2.1 percent of the total private sector training spend compared to 1.6 percent in
1995.
This Key Note report examines three IT training market sectors:
DIY training, using videos, computer-based training (CBT) and other multimedia
products, including CD-ROMs; formal training courses that combine instruction,
with hands-on experience, run in a training provider's premises; and tailored
courses, run on the customer's premises.
The majority of such courses
are for business applications using personal computers (PCs). The report does
not deal with courses run by colleges, nor does it attempt to assess the market
value of internal training courses. Figures for the value of training courses
run by the major hardware manufacturers are not available and have not been
included in the estimates for the market.
The dynamic nature of the IT
market, affected as it is by sudden introductions of new techniques such as
CD-ROM drives and e-mail communications, makes it very difficult to predict
future market sizes with any degree of accuracy. However, there is no doubt
that the PC will continue to permutate business and home life, bringing with it
a never ending requirement for training.
The networking together of
computers continues to show strong growth. In the stand-alone PC market, the
Windows 95 operating system has gained ground remarkably quickly from Windows
3.11 and Windows for Workgroups, but in the network server market, there is
still no clear market leader, with Novell, Lotus and Oracle all having similar
shares. Microsoft's product, Windows NT 4.0, is believed to have less than 10 percent
of this market. However, all the contending server offerings will provide
intranet servers for what will undoubtedly be a huge future market.
Key
Note has estimated the growth of the IT training market to be in the region of
34 percent to 44 percent a year, basing this prediction on previous growth rates and expected
growth rates of multimedia products.
