IT training specialist SureSkills has acquired IT service management and project management specialist ESMI. This will give ESMI customers access to a wider schedule of training and consulting resources across a wider number of subject areas.

The acquisition brings all of ESMI's business into SureSkills. All customers will have immediate access to the full portfolio from both organisations, including the widest range of technical, business applications, project management and service management, as well as management and personal development courses.

SureSkills CEO Brian Kinsella notes: "We believe we can now offer our customers the most comprehensive schedule of service management and project management training and the best possible quality pre- and post-course services."

Kinsella added: "Our priority is to quickly realise the benefits for our customers while ensuring that their experience with us continues to meet our high standards."

ESMI's Ruaidhri McSharry adds: "SureSkills will continue to take forward the best processes from our organisation in order to support immediate improvements."
