QA-IQ, the UK's leading learning company, has been appointed as a VMware Authorised Training Centre (VATC) to support the huge demand for skills in the industry-standard software for virtualised desktops and servers.

QA-IQ now delivers a UK-wide schedule of sought-after VMware virtualisation courses including certified courses and training in advanced technical skills. Delivered by QA-IQ's team of dedicated instructors, the in-depth courses include hands-on practical exercises to support immediate application in the workplace.

"Our focus is on helping our customers address their current business challenges", commented Leigh Lovering, Director of Learning Solutions at QA-IQ. "Many of the organisations that we work with are looking to VMware to deliver new efficiencies and we expect this demand to grow as other companies grasp hold of the significant benefits that VMware technology provides. Virtualisation is providing organisations with a strong solution to today's business challenges, but it's important that teams and individuals have the skills and certification to make the most of its many benefits.

"VMware has chosen to partner with QA-IQ because our leadership in the UK training market provides the highest level of expertise and experience to support the skills development of their customers. VMware is a smart, exciting company and we are delighted to be supporting their customers in the UK."

One of QA-IQ's leading virtualisation trainers, Alasdair Carnie, added; "Virtualisation skills are fast becoming a core requirement for today's IT Professional, as businesses recognise the significant benefits of VMware in terms of return-on-investment and hardware utilisation. VMware technology allows companies to unlock the potential of their current underutilised resources. Cost-savings can be achieved by leveraging current investment in hardware and improving the use of resources rather than having to make new investments."
