Hear from our customers
“I love the labs at QA! The way they're integrated with video learning makes it a hands-on experience which is unrivaled to my knowledge. This makes it a delightful experience for those who learn by doing and like to get stuck in.”
“We chose one-to-one coaching [at QA] as our preferred learning style so we could target the real issues actually experienced by our senior managers... The coaches we used really know and understand our organisation and its politics.”
“The hands-on labs and training content are all worth the price of admission and translate into both career and business growth. The value of the experience is second to none.”

Frequently asked questions
What lab environments do you offer?
We offer coding labs that are a place to practise and assess a student’s programming skills, where they complete coding exercises and challenges to showcase their proficiency in programming languages, frameworks, and libraries.
Then we have cloud labs that are a place to practise and assess a student’s cloud technology-related skills hosted in live cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. They put learners in real-world scenarios to follow guided exercises and solve challenges in a cloud environment.
Lastly, we offer hybrid code and cloud labs that allow learners to learn in coding and cloud environments simultaneously for practical situations.
Can I customise labs and applied scenarios?
Yes! We are able to offer customised labs, tabletop scenarios, and applied workshops as a service. Plus, organisations that subscribe to our self-paced platform, Cloud Academy, may build their own labs and/or clone and customise labs with our lab maker feature. You can create simple cloud labs and sandboxes. Cloud Academy labs also offer the ability to provide customised labs as a service.
Do you offer applied and collaborative workshops?
Yes! We provide an unrivalled array of ready-made, customisable, and fully bespoke workshops. This includes SME-led sessions in which staff engage on a specific cloud, coding, or tech hands-on lab with a narrative that is specific to your organisation's use case. Other examples include leadership workshops focused on activities and impact, or bespoke bootcamp-style projects to lock in learning.
