ONLC Training Centers (incorporated as Online Consulting, Inc.) was founded in 1983 by Jim Palic and Andy Williamson who left their roles as mainframe programmers with the Dupont Company to start one of the industry's pioneering computer training companies.
Over four decades later, ONLC Training Centers is still one of the the largest privately held IT training companies in the USA, offering both online training courses and instructor-led, hands-on IT classes across hundreds of training centers coast to coast. Students can also attend our live classes and events remotely from their own location.
ONLC is a well-run closely held corporation with no debt; our national expansion has been internally financed. You can be certain that when you pay ONLC for training we will deliver.

Computer training is our sole focus. In 2004, we addressed the industry's chronic class cancellation issue by pioneering a solution that connects multiple classrooms into a single live training event. This reduced our cancellation to below 3%, the lowest in the training industry, while still delivering classroom-based, instructor-led training.
We strongly believe that the classroom serves as the foundation for exceptional training, and our RCI solution seamlessly integrates traditional classroom techniques with online instruction.
