About us

We shape the next generation of technologists, leaders and innovators.

By powering potential – the potential of over a quarter of a million learners a year. We empower them to push boundaries and thrive in the workplace.

Why we do learning
For over 30 years, we’ve worked in technology – where the impact of great learning is changing the world. 

A bold statement, but hear us out. We are right at the centre of a technological revolution. Devices are not just connecting people, cities and countries – they are connecting to each other, collecting data and using it to learn and make themselves better. Soon we will have cars that can drive themselves, fridges that make sure we never run out of milk and computers that can learn from their own mistakes.

Driving this revolution? People.

And this is where we come in.

People advancing their knowledge in technology – to enrich society – build a new culture – better how we live our lives, and how we work together.

People are learning to use technology to drive phenomenal change. This is our passion – powering their potential.
