Changing the way people learn
We’re fortunate to do what we do. Our expertise is in learning, and learning is fundamental in changing lives for the better. When learning is effective, it builds people’s confidence, knowledge and capabilities – transforming careers and future prospects.
As the market leader in technology training and talent solutions in the UK, we work with world's biggest brands and companies to give them the competitive edge in the digital world of today. For the last 30 years we have consistently invested in our trainers, technology and facilities to become a trusted training and talent partner for global businesses and government organisations alike. We offer a broad range of courses and wider training services across multiple subject areas – including Cyber Security, Agile, Cloud Computing, Project Management and Data Analytics. Our services help businesses to develop and grow technology talent within their organisation and together we are solving the global digital skill shortage.
A better way to learn
The traditional approach to education and training pushes content and typically measures through anxiety-inducing exams. It fails to immerse the learner in the topic and build knowledge organically.
We believe there’s a better way to learn. We’re transforming the way people learn by combining the very best of digital and live learning. We meet our learners' needs remotely and fit in around their day jobs. We don’t just deliver content, we focus on integrating the learning into the workplace to drive meaningful results. This new way of learning is carried by our world-class industry experts who deliver with impact and stimulate knowledge growth through creative means. This is all underpinned by our new digital platform that empowers learners to take control of their learning.

Digital platform that empowers learners
This new wave of learning is already building momentum: only last year we won Gold for Best Use of Blended Learning – UK Commercial sector in the 2020 Learning Technologies Awards. Our Digital by Design project, which has transformed the learning experience for apprentices, scooped the award after being selected from 34 different entries in this category. And this is just the tip of the iceberg – we've got some more exciting projects coming.
As our learning revolution is building, we are expanding too. We’re looking for like-minded creatives to produce inspiring learning design, charismatic delivery experts to facilitate learning and technology wizards to drive our platform.
Our people are driving this revolution, what part will you play?
Creative talent
We know that creativity and design are hard, but we also know there’s nothing better than when the hard work turns good ideas into innovative products and solutions. As creatives, we ensure that there’s a safe space to fail, innovate and win. The nature of design is problem-solving, brainstorming and refining alternatives before finding the right solution. To do this, we need diverse talent from an array of backgrounds – inside and out of the learning space.

"You'll be part of something great!"
"I’ve been a trainer here at QA for over 20 years and I love it! We’re fortunate to deliver in our own state-of-the-art centres and on our impressive FTSE client sites. We value “bringing ourselves to work”, which means we’re free to express our personalities, life experiences, interests and talents within the learning setting. Doing so gives us a large degree of autonomy as to how we deliver our courses.
"Our success is really down to the support we receive. We have access to and collaborate with world-leading instructional designers to create engaging course materials and learning solutions to support our learners. Over the last 20 years, I’ve never felt more involved in growing the business and shaping the future of our learning opportunities – if you join us, you won’t be just another cog in a machine, you’ll be part of something great!"
