What’s the main difference between the individual and business plans?

The business plan are designed for organisations looking to learn, master and apply new skills for organisational change across digital skills from Cloud Platforms, AI & Machine Learning to Digital Marketing and more. Individual users have access to QA’s technical library of training only including Cloud Platforms, IT Operations and Software Development. This also includes hands-on labs, and interface.
Plus, enterprise team managers and administrators have the ability to:

  • Manage training due dates by assigning courses and individual lessons. Optionally assign assessments as well, to better understand the staff’s baseline skills.
  • Automate training reminders and programme personalisation. Use optional nudges to remind staff who have fallen behind on progress. And use AI-driven programs to dynamically assign the training content needed for proficiency – skipping past content that staff have already mastered.
  • Stay on top of key metrics, certifications, and skill attainment. Powerful analytics track what’s most important to you and your organisation.
  • Intelligently assign projects to qualified staff by using our granular skill analytics and leaderboard to find top performers in each skill area.
