SYDNEY, 12 December 2007, Thomson Education, a leader in distance education in Australia since 1921, is changing its name to Cengage Education following the sale of Thomson Learning to Apax Partners and Omers for US$7.75bn in May 2007. The name change marks Cengage Education’s formal launch as a dual sector operation: the company will now work across the vocational sector, where it has a long history, and it will move into the higher education sector where it will provide relevant, accessible and flexible tertiary courses.

At present, Cengage Education, as Thomson Education will be known from January 2008, has over 79,000 active students. The company has educated and improved the lives of over 700,000 Australians since setting up in Australia in 1921.

Cengage Education’s rich history in the educational sphere in Australia has allowed the company to create tertiary courses that are highly tuned to the day-to-day working requirements of particular professions.

Malcolm Kinns, General Manager of Vocational Education and Training at Cengage, said, “We have worked closely with industry partners and with key bodies, to develop courses that ensure graduates have the skills to help them work effectively in their chosen field. We are using technology to respond swiftly to the ever changing workplace environment, guaranteeing our graduates have up-to-the-minute skills they can use immediately”. 27.02.2008
