OMX's Exchanges division owns and operates the stock exchanges in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius as well as the central securities depositories in Estonia and Latvia. As part of its agreement with OMX, Open Training has been selected as a partner in OMX's interactive learning initiatives. OMX will utilize Open Training's LMS Learngate and its authoring tool LearnLab to develop courses. In addition, Open Training will provide consulting services to support OMX during the implementation process.


Lernia, wholly owned by the Swedish government, provides education and training, as well as personnel leasing and operational development for companies, public authorities, municipalities and organisations. Last year the company provided training for 47,000 people in more than a hundred locations.

Peter Lindqvist, Business Area Manager and Project Manager for Lernia's distance learning program, said: "We turned to Open Training for strategic advice on how to best develop and implement the concept of flexible learning in our own organization as well as to provide support in project specifications, prioritization and coordination."
