What are QAIs e-learning initiatives?
In the first phase, through its EdistaLearning and Edista certification
ventures, QAI has entered into the education and training marketplace catering
to IT professionals, followed by BPO and knowledge workers, irrespective of the
domain they belong to. Edista Software Testing Institute is also being set up.
Efforts will also be made to achieve democratization of learning by using the
Web 2.0, where people not only learn from the best practices, but also
contribute to the content and evolve the next practices.
