QA’s Managed Learning Service has been selected as one of the top 20 training outsourcing companies in the world by TrainingIndustry.com. The 'Top 20' list recognises the leading training outsourcing companies for the high quality of their services and comprehensive capabilities.

To be placed on this list, QA has demonstrated expertise and experience in managing major BPO engagements as well as having a significant impact on the learning services industry in the UK.

We’re committed to continuing the development of our services and believe that by creating strategic partnerships with our customers to understand their requirements we’re able to drive business value from their learning expenditure."

The current economic outlook increases the need for these kind of partnerships as Helen Neale, Research Director HRO for NelsonHall explains "Organisations expect to get increased productivity from their retained workforce as belts tighten and market conditions become tougher. NelsonHall has found that Learning Business Process Outsourcing (LBPO) service providers, such as QA, can help organisations to further grow despite the economic downturn, assisting organisations to develop talent more effectively at reduced cost."
