In 1993, the training institute was opened at Moti Nagar in West Delhi.[2] It is an authorized IT training partner of Cisco, Adobe, Apple, EC-Council, Red Hat, Oracle, Google, Microsoft, and VMware.[3] As per the local media reports, the institute is known for offering Ethical hacking courses in as many as 80 classrooms and "It is hard to find an empty seat in the evening".[4]
