Toronto — August 14, 2006 — EPCglobal Canada is teaming up with RFID4U, the country's largest radio frequency identification training company, in a multi-year partnership to jointly offer RFID training including CompTIA RFID+ certification courses.

Under the scope of their agreement, EPCglobal and RFID4U will offer various RFID training and certification courses throughout Canada. The courses are intended to provide attendees with tools to effectively integrate EPC/RFID into their organizations to meet their business objectives.

"We ultimately selected RFID4U as our training and certification partner because of their experienced team and quality courseware."
