Real-time Project Experience – Comprehension of practical skills is both reinforced and demonstrated in our training programs by completing Case studies of actual projects.

Certification Exams –Our trainers are all certified and provide expert industry level guidance to certification exams with tips and tricks to guarantee consistency of skills and practices for a successful completion of certification.

Ongoing Education – Zaran Tech continues to offer new courses so you can keep up-to-date on latest technologies and best practices.
