Learning NewsQA

QA, Scotland’s largest independent provider of training and consulting, has become the first training provider in Scotland to receive prestigious Gold Partner for Learning Solution status from Microsoft.

Gold Certified Technical Education Centre (CTEC) status reinforces the outstanding quality and innovation of QA’s training solutions honoured last month when QA was awarded prestigious Global CTEC Solution of the Year 2003 at Microsoft’s global partner event in New Orleans.

Already a gold standard CTEC south of the border, QA delegates in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen will benefit from QA Scotland’s enhanced relationship with Microsoft, including increased training for instructors and early exposure to new products and services.

To qualify for gold partner status, QA had to meet a set of demanding criteria including enterprise level training solution delivery on leading-edge technology, including .NET, and the design and implementation of bespoke training programmes.

Joe White, General Manager at QA Scotland, commented: “As the first gold standard Microsoft training provider in Scotland, QA is in a unique and exciting position. Gold CTEC status, coupled with our recent global award win, reinforces the value of QA’s training offering and the technical expertise of our instructors. This formal Microsoft endorsement emphasises to our clients that QA delivers unrivalled quality and value in Microsoft training.”
