Quality Management and Training is to collaborate with UCE Birmingham's Technology Innovation Centre in providing new flexible training and educational programmes for IQA Diploma students.

UK leader in quality training, Quality Management and Training (QM and T) is to collaborate with UCE Birmingham's Technology Innovation Centre (TIC) in providing new flexible training and educational programmes for IQA (Institute of Quality Assurance) Diploma students.

Through distance-learning support, the combined approach will offer students, nationwide, the opportunity of choosing a comprehensive support programme tailored to their individual needs.

Rather than being restricted to traditional, local, day-release or evening class delivery of IQA diploma courses, the new collaborative approach offers continuity to students in their studies, wherever they are.

QM and T's tried and tested study resources will be available on a distance-learning basis, blended with TIC seminars delivered in students' local areas.

These take the form of three-day, face-to-face tutorial workshops which are included in the course fees.

Students not only benefit from the combined quality assurance expertise of QM and T and TIC, but also from automatic online linkage to the TIC library and other university resources, which include internet access to BSI standards.

Professor Graham Rogers, Dean of UCE's Technology Innovation Centre, says: "I believe that this initiative will be a major contribution in opening access and extending educational opportunities to 'quality' professionals, nationwide".

"Collaboration with QM and T will benefit our own IQA Diploma students and offer valuable support for professional development in organisations throughout the UK".

Students successful completion of the IQA Diploma will be recognised through their inclusion at UCE's graduation ceremony.

QM and T's Chief Executive, Geoff Vorley, says: "This exciting, new, collaborative, blended- learning approach combines Internet with education".

"It offers one of the most significant educational opportunities to quality assurance students and professionals seen in the last decade".
