Atlantic Link has achieved the Institute of IT Training (IITT) accreditation. The accreditation was achieved with zero non-conformance and the Institute applauded Atlantic Link for its commitment to quality and its receptiveness to new ideas.
The IITT summarises the assessment saying, "Established in 2002, Atlantic Link is a vibrant company which has developed a range of products to enable Clients to create, update and maintain their own e-learning content. As over 90% of sales are purely product, Atlantic Link strives to ensure that the products drive the Client toward the creation of quality e-learning materials. There is a strong sense of vision mixed with evidence of a wealth of experience in this particular field as well as a clear understanding of what elements the Client needs to understand in order to develop effective content. The openness of discussion and the willingness to adhere to best practise particularly impressed the Accreditation Consultant. Atlantic Link is applauded for its commitment to quality, its receptiveness to new ideas and the desire to implement improvements."
"We are obviously delighted to receive such a positive accreditation." says MD Mike Alcock. "An IITT accreditation is the 'blue riband' of the IT training world. It is a mark of how rapid e-learning is changing the landscape of e-learning that the accreditation is being awarded to a software producer as opposed to the traditional situation where accreditation would be achieved by course authors and deliverers. This recognises that much training is now being developed 'in house' using tools such as ours and the maintenance of training standards is achieved by ensuring that the tools lead users to developing quality courses. The assessment is very complimentary about our software and the way that it guides people to be able to create courses which meet the IITT criteria but in many ways the most satisfying part of the accreditation is the special mention reserved for our quality control and product support. Potential customers can see the excellence of the product with their own eyes, the IITT accreditation gives them confidence that the rest of the support that Atlantic Link provides has come through the most critical examination and found to be not only up to standard, but worthy of special mention."
The IITT's mission is to continuously raise standards of professionalism within the training industry. It does this by establishing and monitoring benchmarks of excellence against which training professionals can be measured. Main categories in which organisations are assessed are
• Business Integrity /Client Perception
• Course Information, Learning content and materials
• Quality Policy and Quality Controls
• Maintaining the Quality of Development Staff
