Selected Clients

Some of the smartest and most successful companies in the world have chosen ProEd programs as critical resources for their fast-track professionals. Here is a small sampling.

History

After two decades of business skills training, ProEd course content has evolved into some of the most powerful intellectual property in the industry. Developed in partnership with some of the world’s top corporate training departments, including the Aetna Institute and the AT&T University of Sales Excellence, ProEd workshops and self-study programs are a compendium of best practices garnered from highly successful individuals and organizations.

Over 95% of participants have rated ProEd courses as “superior to other programs.”

Founded in 1981 by Russ Granger, ProEd specializes in sales, management, and personal productivity courses for high-profile corporations and fast-track small businesses alike. The company has remained small and highly-responsive; focused on the needs of its clients, the quality of its materials, and the success of its program participants.

For many years located in Lanidex Plaza in Parsippany, New Jersey, the ProEd offices are today located in Easton, Maryland — named the “the 8th Best Small Town in America” — so that Russ and his family can be closer to Pincer Point, their home on Irish Creek near the popular destination town of St. Michael’s.
