This agreement will enable QA to offer over 3,000 business skills and IT professional eLearning courses to over 5,000 of their existing clients. The partnership represents an increased focus on the world of online learning for QA, which has so far seen significant success with virtual classrooms, to deliver instructor-led leadership and management, business, and technical-skills courses.

"We were very impressed by both the breadth and the quality of MindLeaders' eLearning portfolio, which we think will offer fantastic value to our customers", said Ron Edwards, Head of Virtual Learning at QA. "What especially drew us to MindLeaders was their anglicised business-skills courses and the particularly strong offering they have developed for Microsoft Office 2010", he added.

The course topics range from desktop computing to top-end leadership training developed in cooperation with industry specialists Bersin & Associates. Additional MindLeaders learning services and technologies including the eBooks library, Practice-Labs, and Instant Mentoring will also be available from QA.

"This partnership is founded on a mutual understanding of each other that we've worked hard to create", said Mashood Rahman, Account Director at MindLeaders, "It's the kind of positive cooperation between providers that can only offer a better choice for customers and an enhanced experience for end-users."
