The story

Learning Tree International was founded in 1974 by two engineers, David C. Collins, Ph.D. and Eric R. Garen, under the name of Integrated Computer Systems. The first course offering was Microprocessors and Microcomputers.

During the 2000s, the company focused on the changing learning requirements of information technology professionals. The AnyWare platform was developed to allow students anywhere in the world to attend live, instructor-led classes virtually from their home or office.
