What the Market Told Us
• Courses are very good.
• Participants appreciate the richness of content.
• HDMI (16:9) is now what most organizations are using to project presentation.
Current format creates bars at left and right.
• Image of the course must communicate the new level of quality.
• Course is very “red”; more colors are required to make course more appealing.
• Should integrate high quality images in the slides.
• Improve consistency of presentation.

Vision Statement
• Evolution, not revolution
• Target audience: professionals
• Look to be crisp, clean and cutting edge
• Aspect ratio: 16:9
• Use of new PECB logo and same color scheme
• Reduction in the level of red and shades of red in the course. Other colors are allowed
as long as it looks good and is coherent; PECB red must be present in color palette
• Use of photos is authorized as long as they add value to the content
• Must print well in black and white photocopy
