The partnership will see SkillSet market TTS' content-creation-and-publication product TT Knowledge Force and application-support solution TT Guide in the UK. SkillSet will also provide a full range of professional services including instructional design, content creation, and training delivery to UK-based customers.

TTS specialises in the employee qualification arena, delivering its TT Knowledge Force solution to over three million users in more than twenty countries worldwide. Its new in-application support solution TT Guide provides on-demand, context-sensitive help that is embedded in live systems, helping organisations to reduce the volume of application-related support calls and improve end-user adoption.

Following a wave of consolidation across the learning-technologies market, TTS is one of the few remaining independently owned providers of eLearning solutions. The partnership enables SkillSet to use TTS' solutions to develop content to support its clients. The partnership also allows TTS to extend its service offerings and add value to organisations across the UK.

Paul Deed, director of SkillSet, comments, "We've got over twenty years of experience in rolling out training programmes to clients large and small. We are particularly strong in the development and delivery of training programmes to support large and complex IT-system deployments. TTS' solutions will add real value here and will enable us to provide new services to our client base, including the delivery of learning to mobile and iPad devices."

"The partnership with TTS will allow us to deliver real productivity benefits to our customers and enable us to deliver exciting learning programmes to UK-based organisations. We look forward to combining our experience in providing innovative learning solutions with SkillSet's ability to deliver complex training and change-management programmes", he continues.
