"As Arizona's population continues to grow, more cutting-edge technology corporations relocate or expand to the State. It is essential that we have plenty of people prepared to work in the technology sector."

- Governor Janet Napolitano

Welcome

Quality is key to the success and growth of the information technology industry in Arizona and throughout the nation. There are many critical professions responsible for ensuring the quality of software products and services in a broad range of industries. In order to meet the demand for such professionals skilled in software development, analysis, and testing, the Arizona Information Technology Skills Training Initiative (AzIT) has created an exciting program consisting of three online courses centered around software quality assurance (SQA).

The courses offer employed professionals, job seekers, and other interested individuals an exciting opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of SQA. IBM, one of the world's leading companies in the information technology industry, has engaged some of its senior software engineers to design the AzIT curriculum. Enrolling in AzIT's on-line version is completely cost-free and gives users access to virtual, self-paced training that represents cutting-edge thinking in SQA.
