Darren Winter, company director of Duco Digital explained the agreement was the result of a successful virtual trade mission to Malaysia with the support of the Department for International Trade, Northern Powerhouse and the British Malaysian Chamber of Commerce, he adds:

“I’m delighted Duco Digital has forged this important collaboration with 3Quantum. Both organisations understand the huge global demand for professionals with quality training and experience in AI & ML which is restricting the market’s growth, estimated to be worth $15.7 trillion by 2030.

Furthermore, Gartner say the top three most significant challenges companies face when considering the implementation of AI are staff skills (56%), the fear of the unknown (42%), and finding a starting point (26%).

These courses equip professionals with the right knowledge, best practice and a globally recognised qualification to develop their career or continue learning into Higher Education”

Gerald Fernandez, CEO of 3Quantum said: “We are pleased to collaborate and be the exclusive partner to represent Duco Digital in SEA. We have seen tremendous growth in the area of technology with the success of unicorns, start-ups and existing companies moving into the tech space in SEA.

There is a huge global demand for professionals with quality training and experience in AI & ML and these accredited courses by BCS will equip professionals with the right knowledge, skills and attributes to be successful.”

Victoria Gemmill, DIT Northern Powerhouse Regional Team, Head of North East Region said: “We have really enjoyed working with Darren and Duco Digital, from the very beginning they have been keen to work with DIT and tap into the international opportunities that we can offer. Duco started as a small local North East company but had big ambitions and through working with their local International Trade Adviser and taking part in our Virtual Trade Missions into various South East Asian markets over the last two years, they have proved that it is possible to compete internationally and win business. We are delighted that they are now selling their services internationally and we are really looking forward to working with them in the future.”
