New Horizons, the world’s largest independent computer training company is planning expansion into ASEAN.

The company, which offers a broad range of technical and desktop application training and certification courses, has signed an exclusive franchise consultancy agreement with VF Franchise Consulting with the aim of expanding to Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam.

Scott McDaniel, director of international development of New Horizons, says that with successful training centers already open in Singapore and Malaysia, New Horizons’ expansion into the remaining countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) will service the existing high demand for professional IT training and certification.

“We are happy to partner with VF Franchise Consulting to bring our world-class IT training and certification centers to the rest of ASEAN.”

Headquartered in the US, New Horizons has been embarking upon an aggressive international expansion campaign that has seen it grow successfully in over 60 countries and over 300 locations.

“Through our extensive research, further expansion into ASEAN is desirable due to the significant growth of the IT sector in Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam,” McDaniel said.

New Horizons Computer Learning Centers is one of the most successful franchises in the training industry. Over the last 30 years, the company has successfully trained over 30 million people. New Horizons offers instant recognition for franchisees as the clear market leader in IT training.

Added Sean T. Ngo, CEO of VF Franchise Consulting: “New Horizons offers global recognition for franchisees as the clear market leader in IT training. The brand’s huge brand name and international success in the IT training industry gives its franchisees the ultimate competitive advantage.”
