IT Skills Research has put QA-IQ at the top of its annual table of the UK's Top 50 IT training providers.

Learning Tree International come in second, followed by SAP and IBM Training.

David Pardo, IT Skills Research explained how the list is compiled. "As we have done in previous years, we gathered the revenues of companies with IT training businesses and excluded sales of training delivered outside the UK and non-IT related business from those companies that offer both types,” Pardoe said. “We also exclude organisations whose revenue is derived principally from publicly funded training or from military/defence-specific IT training, training franchises whose revenues consist only of royalties and training brokers/portals."

The top 10 includes:
1. QA-IQ
2. Learning Tree International
3. SAP
4. IBM Training
5. Global Knowledge
6. Parity Training
7. Logica CMG
8. Xpertise Training
9. Thomson Netg
10. Computeach International
