Eric Lopez holds a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communications from New Mexico State University.
Eric Lopez began his career in the IT Certification field with New Horizons Learning Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was one of the first instructors hired by the brand new franchise in 1996. Eric began as an instructor and was quickly promoted to Training Manager. After much success with the training department Eric was promoted to Sales Manager, and finally, Senior Sales Manager.

In late 1998, Eric left the New Mexico New Horizons franchise operation to help build a New Horizons franchise in Santa Cruz, CA as the General/Sales Manager and as the first and only employee of that franchise. Under Eric’s leadership, the New Horizons of Santa Cruz broke the first year start up records for both sales and collections, and earned the title of Rookie of the Year.

After attaining his goals at the Santa Cruz New Horizons location, Eric continued to move around the country helping New Horizons build additional branch locations as a General Manager at New Horizons of Tucson and then as a co-owner of New Horizons of El Paso.

Eric returned to the Albuquerque location in June of 2004 to reorganize the business and turn it from a “break even business” to a profitable corporate New Horizons center. Eric’s success with the Albuquerque center presented him the opportunity to co-own and re-franchise the center as New Horizons of New Mexico in August of 2006.
After over a decade of computer training center management, Eric decided to apply his particular skill set to a larger market by joining the EC Council.

As the Director of Education for EC Council | North America, Eric launched the iClass program. iClass is EC Council’s live, online, instructor-led training platform. The iClass program was designed and launched with two distinct directives in mind, the first was to develop a program that would augment EC Council’s large Authorized Training Center’s (ATC) schedule and aid them in providing their client base with a “guaranteed to run” schedule. The second was to make sure that any individual in North America who endeavors to earn an EC Council certification always has a course available regardless of whether or not there is an ATC in their local area.

The iClass program began offering live, online, instructor-led trainings in October of 2008 and launched its official website in December of 2008. By July of 2009, the program has delivered over several hundred seats in conjunction with its iClass/ATC partner channel.
