Torque-IT signed an agreement with VUE Testing, the electronic testing business of NCS Pearson, to become one of their largest testing centres in Africa. The agreement, which will see Torque-IT rolling out VUE testing in their Rivonia and Hatfield branches, has been a breakthrough for both companies.
"We have been keen to partner with Torque-IT for some time and so are delighted to have now achieved this," says Anneleen Vaandrager, Vice President, Professional Certification & Licensure for NCS Pearson EMEA.
Says Gary Chalmers, CEO, Torque-IT, "We have for many years discussed the possibility of partnering with VUE and becoming a VUE testing centre. It is therefore with great satisfaction that we finally reached an agreement which would allow our two organisations to begin working together."
