Experience Packs

Develop skills and gain experience

Success at work and career progression is dependant upon your competence to do your job. You only become competent when both your skills and experience reach the required level. Many individuals spend significant time and money on building skills, but have not yet found a way to quickly improve practical experience.

Experience is often seen as something that comes with time - you become experienced when you have done a task many times, and sometimes learn from your mistakes. However, this can be a risk for companies – staff need to gain experience, but companies don’t want to risk project success. How can teams or individuals gain experience and develop their practical know-how with no risk to business-as-usual?

QA-IQ has the answer!

Our new Experience Packs allow you to:

Gain hands-on experience with Microsoft technologies
Improve your ability to apply your technical knowledge to your day-to-day tasks
Quantify and demonstrate your hands-on time with a certificate that proves your experience

Do. Practice. Refresh.

Do – take on tasks that you are prohibited to do in a production environment

With QA-IQ Experience Packs you can tackle new tasks in a safe, live environment. By developing your capabilities in this way you minimise the risk of making errors and improve your ability to apply your technical knowledge when the situation arises.

Practice – fine-tune your skills

The more you practice, the better you become. By practicing hard, you transfer your knowledge and skills from short term to long term memory. Once that has happened, carrying out a previously challenging task becomes second nature and instills confidence in your ability.

Refresh – your knowledge

Skills and knowledge diminish over time if you don’t use them. With QA-IQ Experience Packs you can revisit subjects and tasks that you haven’t tackled for a while. Refreshing your skills in this way is cost effective and removes the need to train out of the office.

What is an Experience Pack?

Live access to real equipment and software

QA-IQ’s Experience Packs provide live access to real equipment and software, without the cost of equipment setup, delivery or administration. Experience Packs utilise Live Labs to facilitate experiential learning. The user steps through a series of guided actions, works through real-world scenarios, and actively controls live equipment. Live Labs allow for learning-by-doing in a “trial and error” fashion.

Anytime, anyplace access

Live Labs can be accessed from any broadband connection, at anytime and from anyplace. As a web-based solution, Experience Packs provide the flexibility for the user to learn in a way and at a pace in which you are comfortable. In addition, you can reduce out of office time and expenditure such as travel and hotel costs.

Quantify experience through certification

How do you measure and demonstrate the experience that you have acquired? QA-IQ will certify the ‘hands-on’ time that an individual has with a product or within a specific environment.
