Such programs complement PITA annual work programs.

PITA Academy
While already providing specialised courses in the annual work plans, academy and cloud based concepts to help formalise new courses have been raised and discussed in PITA forums with the exploration to continue with the collaboration of industry technology members, partner academies and training suppliers, as well as all members.

Some examples include, Mobile Roaming, Fraud & Revenue Assurance, QoS/QoE engineering, Leadership course, Business Continuity, Network Planning & Resilience, and many others.
