we know just how to help. And we’re the most highly
recommended PPM training provider too, so you know

If you need your projects to succeed, you need

Q A .C O M / L L P C O M PA S S .Q A .C O M
QA recognises the need to embed the right culture
and behaviours at the core of project delivery
to enable project professionals to effectively
demonstrate best practice.
So at the heart of our approach to developing competent and confident
project managers is QA’s Living Learning Programme.
These unique and innovative programmes support a structured career
development path for all of your project professionals. A progressive and
immersive learning experience in a collaborative community will help
make a distinct and tangible improvement in their day-to-day performance
and in your overall delivery capability.
We have designed fully supported development programmes for all levels
of experience. They apply to many project management methodologies
and are accredited by the major certification bodies.
COMPASS is a unique online assessment tool based
on internationally recognised project management
standards. It is built around two key features: a great
user interface and meaningful reporting.
QA’s COMPASS is being used by many global and regional organisations
to understand the competence levels within their Project and Programme
Management community.
For many, the COMPASS user interface represents a huge step
forward from traditional spreadsheet or database driven solutions. The
comprehensive group reporting means the captured assessment data can
be cut and sliced in many more ways, is instantly available and always up
to date. For others, the ability to have validation of scores through 180,
360 or external moderation means that there is no longer a reliance on
self-assessment scores that can vary greatly across the community.
