The IT education provider expects revenues in Vietnam to touch $30 million by the end of 2009, more than double the $12 million it expects in 2007, said a news release. Aptech and FPT entered into an agreement in 1999 for providing IT training in Vietnam, with two centres. Currently, Aptech and FPT jointly operate about 31 institutes in Vietnam. The Aptech scrip was down by 3.76 per cent at Rs 305.85 on the BSE today.
