The Digital Workforce Accelerator™ is QTSI's self-paced online learning platform — purpose-built for the three groups that need digital skills most: new Canadians entering the workforce, small businesses navigating AI and privacy law, and startups preparing for enterprise due diligence.
Every course is grounded in Canadian law — PIPEDA, Alberta PIPA, and Canada's AI Act — and written in plain business language. No IT background required. Work through each module at your own speed. Pass the knowledge quiz at the end. Receive your QTSI Certificate of Completion. It is that straightforward.
Choose your program — individual or team. Get instant access. No waitlist, no scheduled start date. Your login is ready in minutes.
Work through each module on your schedule — a lunch break, an evening, a weekend. Every module is plain-language, practical, and Canadian-specific. Pause and resume anytime.
Each module ends with a short knowledge quiz. Pass to unlock the next module. Retakes are unlimited — the goal is understanding, not gatekeeping. Results are tracked in your personal dashboard.
Complete all modules and quizzes for a program. QTSI issues your digital Certificate of Completion — branded, dated, and shareable. Add it to your LinkedIn profile or provide it to your employer as proof of training.
You have the professional skills. This program gives you the Canadian digital context — AI tools used by employers here, cybersecurity habits expected by HR, PIPEDA privacy norms, and Microsoft 365 confidence. Learn between shifts, in the evenings, or whenever works for you.
Self-paced · From $97/person · Grant-eligibleYour employees are already using AI tools without a policy. One privacy complaint costs $45,000–$250,000 to manage. Enrol your entire team on a flat team licence — everyone learns at their own pace, you see completion rates on your manager dashboard, and every staff member earns their QTSI certificate.

When you complete a QTSI program, you receive a digital Certificate of Completion issued in your name by QTSI — Quality Training & Technology Services Inc. The certificate is dated, program-specific, and designed to be shared professionally.
QTSI's cybersecurity modules are built on KnowBe4's industry-leading content library — the same platform used by Fortune 500 companies. As a certified KnowBe4 partner, QTSI layers Canadian-specific context and regulatory grounding on top of KnowBe4's phishing simulations, compliance training, and risk scoring. Completing your QTSI course is the first step — a KnowBe4 subscription keeps your team trained year-round automatically.

Every Accelerator graduate becomes a warm, trust-established QTSI relationship. Most organizations move naturally into ongoing services — because they now understand exactly why they need them.

Learn more →"I arrived in Edmonton with 12 years of engineering experience but had never used Microsoft Teams or heard of PIPEDA. QTSI's bootcamp gave me the digital confidence to walk into any Canadian workplace on day one — and I completed it on my own schedule between shifts."
"I enrolled my entire team of 18 on the Team Licence. Everyone finished at their own pace over two weeks. I could see who had completed what on the dashboard. Every one of them now has a QTSI certificate they're proud of — and we have an AI policy we actually use."
"We completed the Startup Package three weeks before a major enterprise client sent us their security questionnaire. Because our team had gone through the self-paced courses and we had the advisory call deliverables, we could answer every question. That contract is worth $240,000."
Self-paced means no waiting. Your team can start today. If you'd like to discuss which program fits, confirm grant eligibility, or set up a team licence — book a free 30-minute call with Manav.
No. Every module is written in plain business English for non-technical professionals — newcomers, business owners, office managers, founders. We never assume prior IT knowledge.
Each module ends with a short knowledge quiz. Pass to unlock the next module. Once you complete all quizzes for a program, QTSI automatically issues your digital Certificate of Completion. Retakes are unlimited — the goal is understanding, not failing people. Your certificate is issued in your name and can be shared on LinkedIn or provided to employers.
Yes — that's what the Team Licence is for. Up to 25 staff get individual logins, track their own progress, and each earn their own QTSI certificate. You get a manager dashboard showing who has completed what. Everyone works at their own pace — no group sessions required.
Many do. CDAP covers up to $2,400 per Alberta SMB — which covers the Team Licence and Startup Package entirely. IRCC settlement funding covers new Canadian participants. Contact QTSI before you apply — we'll assess your eligibility and help with the paperwork.
QTSI courses are built on Canadian law — PIPEDA, Alberta PIPA, Canada's AI Act. Every example, scenario, and compliance reference is specific to Canadian workplaces and regulations. You also receive a QTSI Certificate from a named, credentialled Canadian provider — not a generic completion badge — and direct access to Manav Chadha if you have questions.
Most participants complete the Digital Workplace Readiness program in 4–6 hours total across 5 modules. The Team Licence program runs 6–8 hours. There is no deadline — you can take weeks or complete it in a weekend. Access does not expire.
