QA partners with InfoBasis to develop higher value training programmes

London, UK, 17 August 2004 – QA, the UK’s largest independent provider of training and consulting, today announced that it will integrate a skills management tool from InfoBasis, Enterprise Skills Infrastructure™ (ESI), into its solutions offering. QA will use the system to perform organisational Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and competency profiling, enabling accurate training evaluation.

“This sophisticated skills management service is a valuable addition to our capability and will ensure clients get the right training when they need it,” said Brian Sutton, QA’s Chief Educator. “InfoBasis ESI™ will support QA’s integrated learning solutions, delivering higher value programmes to our clients.”

QA specialises in the provision of managed training services for leading private and public sector organisations. InfoBasis ESI™ will strengthen QA’s service by ensuring accurate development plans and enabling the effective evaluation of training.

QA has mapped its comprehensive training portfolio against competency models including the Skills Framework for the Information Age (SFIA). Supported by InfoBasis ESI™, QA will help clients benchmark skills against industry standards and competency models, quickly identify skill requirements and measure the effectiveness of training.

Ashley Wheaton, CEO of InfoBasis Limited said: “Organisations are now realising that training can be made more efficient and effective through skills management. Their businesses can be substantially improved with tools that help them better understand and develop their key asset – people. We’re delighted that a company of QA’s standing and track record will be offering these valuable services based on InfoBasis ESI™.”
