KnowledgePool is the UK and Europe's leading provider of managed learning services. We help create high performance cultures with skilled and passionate people and we help our clients to become great companies to work for. Our role is to be the very best at managing learning performance and processes and we are dedicated to optimising your learning activity and driving up the impact, performance and value of all your learning investment.

Our strength comes from being specialists and being vendor-independent

  • We specialise purely in learning. We buy more training, organise more delegate-days, manage more suppliers and analyse more training data than any other organisation in the country and our people, culture, processes and technology are all honed for the one purpose of being the best at managing learning.
  • We are vendor-independent and so provide no training delivery ourselves, employ no trainers and own no training content or classrooms. This means we always remain impartial and sit on your side of the fence, looking after your best interests and ensuring that the best-fit training methodology, supplier, course and price is chosen to match every one of your needs.

Our mission is 'Improving the performance of learning'. We help create high performance cultures with skilled, nimble and passionate people. We help our clients to become great companies to work for, to attract, engage and retain the very best people and ultimately to be more successful businesses.

Our specific role is to optimise our clients' learning activity and drive up the impact, performance and value of all of their investment in learning. Founded over 30 years ago, KnowledgePool has been working at the coalface as the learning partner to over 40 large organisations, accumulating a vast practical experience of managing and optimising learning activity and learning spend, and we have embedded this knowledge into our process and our service so that every client can benefit from them.

We are ranked as the leading provider of managed learning services in the UK by independent research analysts and as one of the top 20 global providers by US-based TrainingOutsourcing.com . We have just over 120 employees and the majority are based at our headquarters in Bracknell, Berkshire.

Our service is based on complete vendor-independence, unparalleled knowledge about the training supplier marketplace, access to the very best subject matter experts, best-in-class technology and infrastructure, very significant buying power, our own science of learning optimisation, and finally our passionate and committed people.

Depending upon the needs of each client, we can focus on specific objectives such as improving the effectiveness and relevance of the learning, reducing the costs of the learning, improving the pre- and post- course experience for delegates and line managers, giving better control and governance over the learning, and freeing up time and taking away headaches for the in-house learning and development team so that they can focus on more strategic issues and on business engagement.
