AdeQuATE 10015+ in principle is applicable to all sizes of companies. However, from the investment point of view, the SMEs might find it expensive relative to the actual budget and expenditure that they spend per year on training.

From the HR function point of view, SMEs normally do not have a fully equipped HR department. They tend to buy in training and ensure competence through on-the-job mentoring. Therefore, AdeQuATE 10015+ system is more easily adopted by the larger companies and MNCs where human capital investment is substantial.
