Bryan Verhoef started Verhoef Information Packages Inc (VIP) in 1979 in New Jersey, USA. Brian was a systems programmer with IBM, working on their Transaction Server systems, what was to eventually become CICS. The company originally operated in the IBM Mainframe arena, providing specialised training in CICS, MVS and DB2 across the USA, and at the time being one of the few competitors to IBM's own training division.

The company was rebranded as Verhoef Training in 1993, and expanded to overseas offices in the UK (Bath) and South Africa (Cape Town). The curriculum of courses was expanded to include distributed systems, PC classes etc. And they now operate as the sole training provider for Fujitsu Services VME systems (formally ICL).
