CompTIA Restructure

[Tess Sluijter]

Yep, I worked in the Puerto Rico center and as soon as the transaction passed we were out of a job.....

It seems that was in October 2023 -> https://educate360.com/press-releases/

But since then, they've still done "happy wow!!" press releases about awards given to NHLC by ECC and CompTIA... That suggests that NHLC is still operating? But how and where then?

New Horizons is a brand that was acquired by Educate 360. It still operates under the NHCLC name but is owned by Educate 360.

My sense is NHCLC, with its focus on physical "learning centers" located in cities across the Country saw a rapid decline in these physical centers. The Covid-19 pandemic probably dealt the final blow. I tried to find when my neighboring NHCLC closed (San Diego), but that information wasn't available. However, from a website perspective, at least on the surface, NHCLC still has a physical tie to my location. See https://www.newhorizons.com/san-diego

I worked for many of the NHCLC locations around the United States and abroad. I worked full-time for the locations in Memphis, TN, and Syracuse, NY, and as a contractor for more than 30 other locations. The NH model was that some of the locations were franchised while others were corporate-owned. The franchised locations had huge variations in quality depending upon the ownership group.

A large group of franchises owned by 5 Points Enterprises left New Horizons to form United Training. This dealt a huge blow to the NH brand. They had no physical presence in some rather lucrative markets. United Training, powered by its acquisition by Educate 360, acquired the New Horizons corporate offices and corporate locations, spinning off the franchised-owned locations to the individual ownership groups.

The former franchises were left swinging in the wind, with no brand name, no LMS, no website, no national marketing campaign, no inter-franchise agreements......nothing. Some closed their doors, while others opened under new names. The local NH in Tampa became "My IT Future Institute.." The locations in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany NY became Logical Operations Training, as they were all owned by Logical Operations, an IT courseware provider.
