Our History

The early days

Learning Pool was founded in 2006 to bring online learning into organisations in a collaborative way. 

Originally focused on sharing online learning content amongst government bodies, we took that concept and built out the offer to enable performance improvement and modernisation. 

We’ve always had a healthy obsession with delivering value for money which led us to engage strongly in open source projects that deliver real benefit outside of Learning Pool and provide leading-edge innovation at a reasonable price. For example, Learning Locker is the world’s only xAPI compliant, open source Learning Record Store and we’re a founding member of the Adapt open source framework that brought responsive elearning to the whole industry. 

We’ve come a long way since 2006, but we’re only just getting started.

Integrity in everything we do

We take our responsibility to make the world a better place seriously and we’re proud of the culture we’ve created inside Learning Pool and with our customers.

Three core values shape the way we do business and who we are as a company. They’re the reason that 98% of our customers recommend Learning Pool why we’re a Sunday Times Great Place to Work.

Since 2006, Learning Pool has grown from a modest team of five to a market leader in the elearning industry. We’re two-star accredited with Best Companies for “Outstanding” employee engagement and we’re Platinum Investors in People award winners.

The heart of our DNA is the pursuit of excellence and bringing innovation to everyone, faster than anyone.  We’ve acquired three companies along the way but we know it’s our people who make this possible, so we put our team and our customers at the centre of everything we do.
