eLearning Marketplace: Quality-first training and service

The multi-award-winning eLearning Marketplace is the UK’s largest provider of immediate access online training with customers in over 50 countries. We partner with 100+ e-learning publishers who share our quality standards for instructional design and content, to bring our customers a unique catalogue of 4,800+ online, quality-assured courses with a price match guarantee.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower organisations of all sizes to unlock their staff potential through quality, accessible, cost-efficient, and measurable technology-driven learning solutions that drive excellence and professional growth.

The Problem we’re Solving

Organisations are coping with tight budgets, compliance requirements, and the challenge of actually engaging their staff in training that will make a difference. Most large training providers focus on volume rather than quality and value. They offer the market a generic, “one-size-fits-all” subscription model, much of which is wasted. Typically, 30%–50% of purchased training licenses are not used, resulting in not just wasted training investment, but also employee capability, productivity, engagement, and organisational performance.

Low course usage is rarely because employees “don’t want to learn.” More commonly, organisations:

  • purchase too many licenses,
  • buy broad libraries without targeted training needs,
  • fail to integrate learning into workflows,
  • do not track completion and impact effectively,
  • lack of accountability from managers.

At eLearning Marketplace, our customers with high training utilisation and engagement purchase training that:

  • aligns with their strategic priorities,
  • personalises training to the organisation, teams and roles,
  • connects learning to performance reviews and progression,
  • measure outcomes rather than just enrollments.

We support our customers to achieve their training goals by providing a consultative approach that ensures we offer you the best advice and solution to meet your unique requirements. This might be a professionally curated, tightly targeted content solution, or a subscription with chosen courses that you will actually use.

How We Began

In 2013 Carolyn Lewis founded eLearning Marketplace, when in her consultancy capacity, working with training providers, colleges and employers in developing their use of learning technologies, she was frequently asked:

“Where can we actually find good-quality online training?”

The company went from strength to strength and was acquired in 2023 by Core Learning Services, combining the curated eLearning Marketplace with over 20 years of technical B2B expertise. Carolyn remains with the company, and her team works closely with Core Learning Services.

Today, we serve over 6,000 customers, from individuals and small businesses to large corporates such as the NHS and the Armed Forces, all while maintaining the personal, expert-led touch that started it all.

50+ countries

4800+ courses

Social Responsibility

We take our responsibility for reducing any negative impact our actions have on the environment very seriously. Minimising travel, running paperless processes and being mindful of electricity saving are key to us doing this. We use small local businesses for our supplies and services, and recycle where we can.
