Value added distributor Cohort Technology has bolstered its training portfolio by securing Authorised Training Centre Status for SonicWALL.

The accreditation means Cohort has added several new SonicWALL classes to its portfolio, and will deliver the training via its own SonicWALL-certified instructors.

Ian Gilbey, services director at Cohort Technology, said: "As part of our overall strategy of services-based distribution, training services forms a key role and this further demonstrates our commitment to the value-add model on which Cohort is based.

"We will be working with SonicWall to further enhance its training offerings for its partners."

For a limited time, Cohort is offering two courses at a subsidised price. These include SonicWALL Secure Remote Access Administrator v10.0 and SonicWALL Network Security Essentials (CSSA) training courses.
