We acquired QA in May 2007 and have provided additional growth capital to the business including for the successful acquisition of AIM-listed Xpertise Group plc, one of QA’s principal competitors, in September 2008. Subsequently the group has delivered strong organic growth and completed five further add-on acquisitions to supplement and broaden the group’s offering.

Today, QA is the UK’s pre-eminent IT training company, providing training in predominantly IT-related areas to private and public sector clients, including approximately 80% of the FTSE 250. Since acquisition, QA has launched operations in apprenticeships and higher education, and more recently entered the fast-growing hire-train-deploy market for IT consultants.
