About CEdMA Enterprise
The definitive professional community for customer education leaders in global technology companies, run by volunteers from member companies.
What is CEdMA Enterprise?
CEdMA Enterprise (the trading name of Computer Education Management Association Europe Limited) is the premier organization for training executives, managers, and professionals on a management path in hardware and software companies. Through CEdMA you can draw on the experience and resources of members who share a passion for high-quality training and certification on technology products, while running an efficient business unit.
Running customer education inside a technology company is its own discipline. You build courses and certifications for fast-moving products, run a business unit with revenue targets, and prove value to the rest of the company. Few people outside the field understand that combination.
From the start, members have worked on a simple principle: our companies are not competing for the same learners, so we can share our successes and failures openly. That non-competitive sharing of ideas is still at the heart of the association.
Today CEdMA Enterprise brings together more than 800 people from over 50 global technology companies.
