New Horizons Blog and Resources

ANAHEIM, CA – On June 1, 2007 a team of 58 employees were joined together for an unforgettable career change. New Horizons Computer Learning Centers, Inc was established in 1982 in Laguna Niguel, CA. Recently, they had begun franchising their 300 locations. Kevin Landry, a prior telecommunications and sales leader, saw the opportunity to make a difference in the companies and organizations right in here in Southern California. Through professional development, IT training and certification tracks, New Horizons Learning Group has over 1 million enrollments since 2007. With economic and industry changes, our clients, partners and students have been able to stay ahead of the competition and thrive in an evolving market.

We are moving our Los Angeles New Horizons training center from Culver City to Gardena. Our new location is more conveniently located off of the I-405, between Nomandie Avenue and S. Western Avenue.This change is prompted by changing needs and our commitment to providing the most positive experience for our students and valued partners.

We look forward to seeing you at our new home at: 1515 West 190th Street #430, Gardena, CA 90248.

Being an IT pro means regularly acquiring new skills and certifications to keep up with a rapidly evolving industry. The pace of change in the technology sector has seemed to accelerate over the past decade with the introduction of commercial cloud computing, smartphones, tablets, wearables and the Internet of Things. This means that many in the industry must constantly look ahead and consider what they can do to improve their skill sets.

The inclusion of advanced technology into every industry has allowed for an explosion in data creation recently. In fact, an infographic from VCloudNews stated that around 90 percent of all the data currently in existence was made in the previous two years. That's quite a lot of information, which is why this trend is being called big data. 

Windows 10 from Microsoft is being seen by many as a major improvement over the previous Windows 8. The operating system has been streamlined and optimized for both the consumer and enterprise markets, and people all over the world are enjoying a better computing experience for it. What's more, these users have been getting Windows 10 for absolutely no charge. 

However, this free ride is set to expire. Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will be expiring on July 29, 2016, which is the first anniversary of the OS's release date. Although this deal may be coming to a close, there's still time for you to download Windows 10 for free if your have a compatible device.
