It was one of those mornings when a good conversation and a cup of coffee felt like the perfect combination. So, I caught up with one of our partners, Mackenzie Barraclough, LMS Content and Partners Manager at Maguire Training, to learn more about the organisation behind one of the UK’s leading libraries of CPD certified online courses. Through the eLearning Marketplace, businesses and individuals can access and purchase Maguire Training’s extensive collection of eLearning courses covering leadership, management, sales, compliance and professional development. I was keen to discover how the company has grown from a UK training provider into a global learning partner delivering high-quality training, and what continues to set it apart.
Rather than simply delivering training courses, Maguire Training has spent more than two decades helping people become better at what they do. Since launching in 1999, the UK organisation has grown into an international training provider, delivering programmes across the globe in more than 30 languages. Its philosophy is summed up in its tagline, “Continual and Measured Improvement,” and its mission, “To make you better at your job than you were yesterday.”
That focus on practical improvement has been at the heart of the business from day one. The team works with organisations and individuals alike, providing leadership, management and sales training designed to create measurable, real-world results rather than simply ticking a compliance box.
Although leadership and sales remain Maguire Training’s core specialisms, its portfolio has expanded significantly over the years. Today, learners can choose from classroom-based training, live virtual sessions, open courses, one-to-one coaching, eLearning and programmes funded through the Apprenticeship Levy.
The Maguire Training catalogue spans everything from behavioural and communication skills through to finance, HR, wellbeing, diversity, negotiation, marketing, presentation skills, problem solving, decision making, account management, time management, coaching and mentoring, as well as health and safety and UK regulatory compliance.
Having worked across an incredibly broad range of sectors, the organisation has developed extensive experience tailoring its courses to different industries. Clients come from transport, education, energy, telecommunications, construction, media, manufacturing, hospitality, food production, and healthcare, including the NHS. Maguire Training believes that whatever the sector, combining sector knowledge with practical skills development delivers the best outcomes.
The quality of their work is extremely important to them, and they go to great lengths to ensure that all of their training programmes are of the highest quality. Their training programs are all CPD certified through The CPD Certification Service, and their online courses comply with WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines to ensure that they are accessible to as many people as possible and are delivered in the best format possible. All of their training content is created by Subject Matter Experts who have extensive knowledge and real-life experience of the topics covered in the training. This ensures that the content of the training programmes is always up-to-date, accurate and of the highest quality.
Listening to customers also plays a central role in how the organisation evolves. Feedback is actively encouraged and regularly influences updates to existing courses as well as the development of new training modules. Alongside dedicated customer support, this commitment to continuous improvement helps ensure learners receive a consistently positive experience.
The feedback from customers reflects that approach. One learner commented: “We thoroughly enjoyed the training and thought that it was easy to access. The training provided was good and easy to understand, covering many topics regarding minute-taking and providing tools to help improve minute-taking. Overall, happy with the training.” Another said: “I found the training exceptionally interesting. The information was well prepared and the presentation clear. It was interactive as well, which helped keep my motivation high and kept me engaged throughout.” A further testimonial simply summed up the experience: “Thank you for the course! It is well structured and very easy to understand.”
The organisation’s reputation is further reflected in its impressive 4.7 out of 5 rating on CourseCheck, demonstrating consistently high levels of learner satisfaction.
Maguire Training is rightly very proud of the partnerships and accreditations it has built within the wider business community. It is Age Inclusive accredited by 55/Redefined, a ProAge Founding Member, a CEDA Associate Member and an IES Founding Partner, reinforcing its commitment to inclusive learning, professional development and raising standards across the training industry.
With more than 25 years of experience, a global client base and an unwavering commitment to continual improvement, Maguire Training has established itself as a trusted provider of professional development, leadership, management and sales training. Its investment in expert-led content, CPD-certified courses and accessible online learning ensures organisations can confidently develop their workforce with practical, engaging and measurable training. At the eLearning Marketplace, we are proud to partner with Maguire Training, making its extensive portfolio of online courses easily accessible to organisations looking for high-quality workplace learning solutions that deliver real results.
