 “We highly recommend accessing the training courses on the ADIA Training Academy platform. We have found it to be an asset to our organisation and a beneficial training tool alongside our in-house induction training. Getting started with the ADIA Academy has been a really simple process with the platform easy to use, and great customer support. The variety of courses available means there is always an option that suits our learning needs. The short courses are great as most of our people are quite busy.  We do however appreciate that some topics are more involved and need more details, so a longer presentation is sometimes necessary.”  Ben Bishton, Managing Director, The Human Network

ADIA congratulates the following member organisations on successfully completing a range of courses in November and supporting yet another record-breaking month of training on the Academy. 

Crnrstone, Enhance Research, JWS Research, McNair Yellowsquares, Myriad Research, Pureprofile, Q&A Market Research, QOR, The Human Network and The Market Intelligence Co.

We are delighted to acknowledge your commitment to continuous learning and development. Your dedication towards enhancing the skills and knowledge of your employees is commendable.
