London, UK – This October, QA, the UK’s largest provider of apprenticeships and workplace training, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Since its inception in 1985, QA has been at the forefront of upskilling the UK workforce with essential tech and digital skills.
From the rise of personal computers and the dot-com boom to the shift towards cloud computing and mobile-first, QA has been a leader in workplace training. Now, as the greatest wave of technological disruption in four decades hits the workforce, QA is once again leading the charge with its focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI).
AI is not only driving what is being taught, but it is also revolutionizing how it is being taught. Ben Sweetman, SVP of Learning Products at QA, stated, “Our cutting-edge gamified learning experiences are built using the power of Copilot, and our AI learning assistant, ELA, helps learners achieve deeper outcomes through personalized, intelligent support.”
As AI reshapes industries and jobs, it is also reshaping training, and traditional approaches are no longer sufficient. That’s why QA is pioneering AI-driven training solutions that prepare organizations for the future. From frontline employees learning to harness AI tools to technical teams mastering machine learning and data science, QA provides tailored AI skills for every business persona.
With AI skills now essential for driving productivity, operational efficiency, and enhanced customer experiences, QA is calling for more organizations to join the future of AI-driven training. “Closing the skills gap is an urgent priority, and only future-facing, innovative, AI-driven training is going to get us there. We want more organizations to join this movement, and we’re offering 40% off our top 40 instructor-led courses for 40 days,” shared Mr. Sweetman.
Alongside the 40% off top courses promotion, QA will also be hosting a range of free expert-led webinars on the latest AI and data skills, including a session on how to increase productivity using Microsoft Copilot. These celebrations mark QA’s industry landmark and showcase the company’s commitment to leading the next phase of modern training transformation.
