Smart Technologies Ltd, the PC leasing company, has installed computers at Island Hotels Group's dedicated training room with its flagship Radisson Blu Resort and Spa, Golden Sands.

Marthese Vella, director of IT at Island Hotels Group, explained that a purposely dedicated room for its in-house IT training was a natural step. Training was always at the forefront of employee development and being equipped to offer courses in-house allowed for more flexibility, more efficiency and better results, she said.

The group's long-term aim is to train key personnel from different departments who will then be in a position to offer the training to internal refresher trainees, backed by practical experience.

Island Hotels Group plans to start ECDL courses shortly for all staff who use computers daily later this month.

The first session will be led by an Italian trainer from Micros-Fidelio Italia who will be delivering specialised sessions on the Opera Sales and Catering module.
