Business: Prometric's Ramesh Nava receives learning leader sward at LearnX

Singapore - Medianet International-AsiaNet/ - Prometric, the global leader in technology-enabled testing and assessment services, today announced that Singaporean Ramesh Nava, Vice President and General Manager for the Asia Pacific and Africa region, has been chosen by his peers in the Learning and Development industry as the winner of the inaugural Learning Leader Award at the LearnX Asia Pacific 2008 E-Learning & Training Awards in Melbourne, Australia.

The Learning Leader award is given to an individual who has shown positive involvement with training in the region, and who is recognised for creative influence, experience, commitment to the industry, and leadership within the region. A panel of judges from across the industry scored the entries and awarded Mr Nava the honor.

A spokesperson for the award organisers commented, "Ramesh was one of three individuals nominated under the Learning Leader award category. The judging panel was looking for an individual, within an organisation or working independently, who has made a significant and innovative impact on the training industry over a number of years in the Asia Pacific region. In the view of the judges, Ramesh's contribution and extensive regional experience made him a worthy winner."

Ramesh Nava said "I am honored to accept this award at LearnX 2008. More than personal recognition, it is an acknowledgement of Prometric's continued leadership and contribution to the field of professional assessment."

Training Australia Magazine, Australia's leading Training and eLearning publication, coordinates and hosts the LearnX event, an annual eLearning and Training solutions symposium, which attracts over 2000 delegates from across the globe each year. Whilst this is the fourth year for the event, it is the first year that key individuals and companies in the Training Industry have been rewarded and recognized with their prestigious recognition program.

A veteran of the ICT industry, Ramesh Nava has been involved in the development of the use of technology and business growth across the Asia-Pacific region for over twenty years, working at several leading multi-national organizations prior to Prometric.
