UK’s leading provider of technology and digital skills training, QA, has announced the launch of its latest innovation in smart workplace learning, the Blended Learning Experience (BLX). This revolutionary program combines self-paced digital content with live virtual instructor-led training (VILT), all delivered seamlessly through the QA Learning Platform.
In line with current market demands, BLX aims to address the challenges of cost, complexity, and time constraints in workplace learning. According to market data, 52% of learners consider limited time as the biggest barrier to effective learning, while a 60% increase in knowledge retention is observed when learning is done collaboratively. Additionally, organisations are wasting an average of £18 million annually due to fragmented tools.
In response to these pressing challenges, QA believes it is time for a new approach. The BLX offers a scalable, flexible, and collaborative solution to workforce training, ensuring that organisations are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in today’s fast-paced world.
Ben Sweetman, SVP of Learning Products at QA, explains the need for a new approach: “Traditional training models are no longer sufficient to keep up with the pace and complexity of today’s workplaces. Organisations need more effective ways to learn, and that is where we come in. BLX is built to solve these challenges by combining flexibility, collaboration, and consistency in one seamless platform.”
The BLX program operates through a combination of modalities, allowing learners to easily switch between self-paced modules and live virtual classrooms. All content is developed and delivered by QA’s team of over 450 subject matter experts, ensuring the highest quality of training. The program is designed to have a real-world impact, with collaborative learning environments leading to improved retention and application of skills. Furthermore, the streamlined delivery of BLX reduces platform complexity and ultimately cuts costs for organisations.
The initial rollout of BLX includes popular courses such as ITIL® 4 Foundation, APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ), and BCS Business Analysis, all now available in the new blended format. Sweetman encourages businesses to take advantage of this innovative approach to upskilling: “We believe that the blended format will greatly benefit our customers by saving them time and costs. The pricing for BLX offers up to 19% savings compared to traditional instructor-led learning formats. Additionally, with its increased effectiveness, BLX reduces the time needed to complete learning by an average of 33%. These are critical advantages, especially when upskilling is a top priority.”
