Video Arts' digital library of 2,700 corporate video clips, 57 behavioural eLearning courses and 20 m-learning programs for BlackBerry and Apple (iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch) devices will combine with MindLeaders ThirdForce's portfolio of, 3,000 business, leadership, soft skills, and IT eLearning courses - excluding the compliance portfolios to the care and hospitality sectors that sit outside of this arrangement.

Martin Addison, CEO of Video Arts, says, "By combining our two complementary portfolios, we'll each be able to offer our clients a broader choice of resources. With this completely integrated package, we can provide a one-stop learning solution that saves clients the hassle of dealing with different specialist providers for different types of training content."

Janet Garcia, Director of EMEA and APAC at MindLeaders ThirdForce, adds, "The addition of the eLearning and m-learning courses from Video Arts, and their digital library of clips, has enhanced our soft skills arena. Now, with a single sign on, customers will be able to access all of their resources and ours. This means we both have a wider portfolio with which to drive greater value for our long-standing partners and new customers, as we are even better placed to service the training needs of the L&D community with the best video, eLearning, and m-learning resources available."

The new arrangement currently applies in the UK and Ireland with a view to extending the reciprocal partnership to cover key markets such as South Africa and the United States in the very near future.
