ELM training from the people who run it in production
The Island Training Solutions curriculum is now part of Strongback Consulting. Instructor-led courses across the IBM ELM suite — requirements, workflow, test management, and reporting — taught by consultants who administer these tools for real engineering organizations, not career trainers reading slides.

Each course maps to a current ELM application — including the product’s former Rational name, because that’s still what half the industry calls it.
