Why choose QA

At QA, we never forget that companies invest in training for a reason: to improve their business; make it more competitive; more efficient; more responsive.

It’s increasingly recognised that the biggest factor in organisational effectiveness is the skills of its people. We help organisations grow and improve, by providing training that builds a workforce that’s second to none.

Established since 1985

QA is one of the longest established training companies in the UK. Not only do we lead the market, over 25 years we’ve helped to shape it, too – often being the first to market with courses and learning services that later become mainstream. As we’ve grown, we’ve acquired other leading training companies to extend our capabilities even further: respected training companies such as InterQuad, Power Education, Remarc, Waterman’s and Xpertise are now fully integrated parts of QA. This has also allowed us to offer a greater range of training courses in a wider range of locations.

Training, training – and training

Training: it’s what we do. Everything from a single course to an international training programme – or even a fully outsourced managed learning service. No matter how far you grow, and how much your business develops, QA can be there to support you.

Respected for quality, recognised for innovation

At QA, ‘good enough’ just isn’t good enough. We always strive to be better; to do the best possible job – which is why we’ve steadily accumulated both national and international awards for our training solutions. Our average ‘quality attainment’ figure (the percentage of satisfied delegates) is among the highest in the industry at 97.4%. We also stay ahead by thinking differently, often being the first to market with new ways of learning that help organisations to reduce training costs but increase their effectiveness.

Accredited by leading organisations

QA’s list of accreditations is one of the most impressive in the industry. We’re fully accredited by technology companies such as Citrix, CompTIA, IBM, Microsoft, Novell, Oracle, Red Hat, Sun, Ubuntu and VMware. We’re also accredited by independent bodies, such as The British Institute for Learning & Development, the Chartered Management Institute, the Information Systems Examinations Board (ISEB), the IT Service Management Forum (itSMF), the Institute of IT Training, Middlesex University, the Project Management Institute and the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA).

Local resources, national infrastructure

QA has over twenty-five training centres across the UK, giving us the breadth of locations to offer our clients a local and national service – and we also provide training internationally, either directly or with the support of selected partners.
