Why train with SQS?

Pricing

We have flexible pricing models to suit most needs whether you are in individual coming on a training course, or if you are co-ordinating the training of a group of people.
There are no hidden extras with our charges. Public course fees are inclusive of course materials, exams (when part of the course) and food (they don’t include your travel or accommodation costs). When we come to you, we’ll always try to fix expenses up front and not hit you with extra costs later.

Specialist

SQS is the leading independent pure play provider of testing and quality management services – it’s what we do and it’s in our DNA. From training our own people we have very deep knowledge about what people need to know to be effective and which training will develop their skills and knowledge.

Relevant

Our courses are based on industry and SQS best practice. We’re at the forefront of cutting edge testing techniques and tools and know what works and what doesn’t.

This is reflected in our training courses – we deliver real world training not just theoretical training.

We are also at the leading edge of training: we are the world's first accredited training provider to offer all three of ISEB's Intermediate Certificate, Practitioner in Test Analysis and Practitioner in Test Management. We constantly review our materials and delivery techniques to ensure we can keep you ahead of the game.

Trainers

And of course our trainers come with the same pedigree. They are all from a testing/quality management background and have all worked in the field as testing consultants. They know the real life issues you face and bring this knowledge to the courses.

As you would expect, all our trainers are fully certified in what they train and have to undergo rigorous training themselves to make sure they are qualified to teach others.

And when they have time in between training, they are often asked to speak at industry conferences!

The training team is backed up by our sales support team who are fully trained (as you might suppose!) to talk you through the available courses and make all the arrangements from your booking through to your arrival at the training course.

Accreditations

Not only are our trainers fully qualified, certified and accredited, the SQS training team as a whole has to undergo rigorous reviews and assessments of its own.  These are either from the companies whose products we teach or by industry training bodies wanting to ensure that we have achieved best practice training standards and processes.

Locations

We have training facilities all over the UK and Ireland and many in Europe. Many of the courses run across all the locations so we’re never too far away from you and should have a location to suit you and your training needs.

We are particularly proud of our new training facilities in London and Woking which are now light and airy and have great sitting areas to relax in during breaks.

If it’s better for us to come to you we will. We are happy to come to your offices and run training courses specific to your staff. Not only that, but working with you, we can run training courses adapted to your company’s specific needs.
