Investigation Brief
QA.com is the website of a training company that offers courses and takes business enquiries through contact forms. The domain is about 32 years old. The site lists its own-domain email address, a phone number and a postal address. Security scans found no threats. An independent review platform's reviewers are largely positive, although some complain about support and trainer quality. The site sits in the Safe band, with normal customer-service caveats.
Clean technical checks and an identifiable operator
Across 93 security engines, there were no malicious or suspicious detections. The browser threat feed gave no warning, and the encrypted connection is valid.
The site gives clear ways to reach the company: the email address newbusiness@qa.com, the phone number 0113 220 7150, and a visible postal address. Together with a domain registered over three decades ago, this points to an established business rather than a short-lived storefront.
Customer feedback is mixed in places. One an independent review platform's review says QA provides little support and calls the company more trouble than it is worth. Other reviewers say some tutors lacked practical knowledge or preparation. These comments describe service-quality complaints, not fraud.
What visitors actually see and do
Visitors see a cookie preferences banner. Visitors from the Americas may also see a prompt suggesting a switch to a regional version of the site.
Enquiry forms ask for a business email, name, phone number, company name and country. The forms include a data-processing notice and an opt-in for marketing updates. This is a standard business lead form.
Course listings, such as an intermediate AWS billing course, link through to a partner learning platform on a separate domain.
Why the score is 88
The saved checks and analysis found no material threat. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

First appeared in WHOIS records — 32 years old when this review was saved.
- Oct 19, 2026Saved security review — Rated Safe
This saved scan found no active threat signals in the checks it completed.
qa.com has operated for years with no threat signals in this review — a long, stable track record, though it is never a guarantee on its own.
Contact Verification
Saved contact details can help identify the operator. Their presence supports traceability; it does not prove the business is trustworthy.
- Contact email on the site's own domain (newbusiness@qa.com).
- Phone number listed (0113 220 7150).
- Postal address visible on the page.
Domain & Encryption
Certificate issued for qa.com.
A shared content-delivery network address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.

Payment providers the page loads
None seen among the outside domains we saved.
Read from the first 20 outside domains the page loads and the shop platform it uses; the web server and platform rows are under Hosting & Technology. A payment script on the page does not prove the shop accepts that method at checkout, or that you are protected.
