QA again confirmed as UK’s top training company
Independent training research company Pardo Fox confirms QA’s status as the UK’s top training provider for the fifth year in succession.
The results of Pardo Fox’s annual survey of UK-based IT training companies are in – and, once again, QA is identified as the UK’s top training provider.
For the last five years, QA has been listed as the UK’s number one IT training company, with a significant gap between QA and the rest of the market. Pardo Fox has been undertaking the research for almost a decade, with QA topping the table for over half of that time.
William Macpherson, QA’s CEO, believes that the company’s leading position in the market is indicative of its passion for quality training. “We are thrilled to be, yet again, identified as the top training company in the UK,“ says Macpherson. “Of course, there’s really only one thing which drives our success – customers who keep coming back to QA time and time again. For example, two out of every three people trained on official Microsoft courses are trained by QA.”
The company is also one of the most established in the training industry, with a history that extends back to 1985. Since that beginning, the company has extended geographically to provide one of the UK’s widest networks of training locations – over 20 locations. Building on its strong classroom-training heritage and infrastructure, QA has also extended its services into almost every area of learning – including eLearning and virtual classrooms.
David Pardo of Pardo Fox says that the research is based on the revenue of training providers (whether dedicated training companies, or companies which have a significant training offering). “The figures are carefully researched,“ says Pardo, “and form the basis of the most accurate assessment of the UK IT training market currently available. They clearly show that QA is the undisputed leader in the industry.”
Another reason for QA’s success, according to Macpherson, is the depth and breadth of its training. “We offer around 1,500 courses from over 20 locations,“ he says. This includes Microsoft training , PRINCE2 training, ITIL service management training, management and personal development training and Green IT training – to name but a few. But not only do we have one of the broadest training portfolios, we also provide some of the most in-depth courses.”
“Like our business, our training portfolio is driven by our customers,“ concludes Macpherson. “We supply what they demand, to the best possible quality – it’s that simple.”
