QA, the UK's largest independent provider of IT training and consulting, has been awarded Microsoft Global Certified Technical Education Centre (CTEC) Solution of the Year at Microsoft's sixth annual Certified Partner Awards in New Orleans.

The first UK training provider to receive this prestigious accolade, QA was selected above regional finalists from around the world for its innovative solutions for Microsoft training that offer outstanding value to clients.

"This is the highest honour bestowed upon its partner community by Microsoft and we are delighted to be selected as a worldwide winner," commented Brian Sutton, Chief Educator, QA. "This award reflects our provision of unmatched innovation, quality and demonstrable value in training delivery".

In conferring the Global CTEC Solution of the Year award to QA, Microsoft recognises QA's leadership, quality and creativity in Microsoft training. The award honours QA's blended approach to Microsoft training delivery, Learning Integration Management (LIM), that develops the skills of Microsoft professionals in a way that is effective, flexible and that offers value of money.

"Leading organisations, such as Vodafone UK, have already benefited from our best practice blended learning solutions for Microsoft training," added Brian Sutton. "Our enhanced learning environment has transformed the way people learn and provided additional pay-back to employers in terms of saved time, lower costs and increased effectiveness."
