History

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 home or office. More recently, blended learning solutions have been introduced to provide the convenience of self-paced training and the personal connection of in-person instruction. This has resulted in a learning ecosystem that responds to the growing need for diverse formal and informal learning options.
