It was originally created in 1995 as a Training Management System (TMS) - providing an online route to deliver underpinning knowledge and assessments for NVQs within the electronics industry. Since then, it has evolved into a full e-solution that is used extensively within both the public and private sectors.

Its evolution has been driven not only by the needs of our customers, whom we endeavour to delight, but also by our own objectives, as we are a prime user of the system. We use to deliver and support our NVQ Train to Gain activity, support our Investors In People, Matrix, Customer First and Ofsted quality systems, and to deliver to 100,000+ learners within our thriving e-Academies, which include: Engineering, Healthcare, Housing, Hospitality, Lean Healthcare, Manufacturing Productivity and Safeguarding Children.

Throughout the last 10 years we have played an important role in helping drive the e-adoption process. has played a pivotal role in helping us towards our goal of becoming the UK’s leading provider of blended training solutions.

In technology, nothing stands still and has been carefully structured to ensure it can embrace new technologies as they become available. We are already delivering on to mobile phones and iPods to provide greater flexibility of delivery - at a pace, place and time to suit the learner.
