QA offers a range of software engineering training products that put practical project delivery at the heart of our learning. We do this by combining practical, project focused learning with Just-in-time (JIT) theory so engineers can build real-world solutions to solve modern business problems. All our software engineering programmes are BCS accredited via the Skills for the Information Age Framework (SFIA), which highlights how quickly our engineers are able to put their technical skills into practice.
QA currently offers 70 software engineering training courses. Our front-end programmes prepare engineers with the understanding of modern technologies, patterns, and paradigms to build front-end applications with leading technologies such as ReactJS and Angular. Our back-end programmes equip software engineers with key technical skills, languages, patterns and development techniques to build robust, concurrent and secure server-side solutions using languages such as Python, Java, C#, Scala and JavaScript.
Finally, our Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) training offering prepares engineers with the functional and non-functional automation skills to build both robust and high-quality engineering solutions.
Alongside our software engineering training courses, we also offer Level 3 Software Development Technician and Level 4 Software Developer apprenticeship programmes and our unique Squad-as-a-Service proposition, providing UK organisations with a source of accredited, early-careers software development talent to boost in-house teams.

Tech bootcamps: the faster way to reskill
What if you could get the tech talent you need in just 5 weeks? And be absolutely confident individuals will hit the ground running and already know your business?
You may have key people who understand business systems and processes, but whose role or department needs to change due to modern tech needing different skills and roles from what you have today.
We recognise that there are times when retaining talent and business expertise is preferable to hiring or upskilling from scratch, we’ve listened and this is why we’ve developed QA tech bootcamps to help you achieve this.
