Launch of The Learning Market Brings a Significant New Era for Training Buyers and Providers

The Learning Market is now available at http://www.thelearningmarket.com, the first of a number of global sites to be launched over the coming year. The Learning Market goes beyond the traditional trainer listing or course directory, enabling training providers and training buyers to come together in a transparent marketplace.

“The Learning Market is all about giving those individuals interested in their personal development or those involved in organisational training, the tools and services they need to plan and be in control of their career development,” said Storm Hardy, Director of Learning Aspects Ltd. “The launch of The Learning Market represents a significant and important milestone for the industry of learning and development. We are proud and excited to release this service to the market, and plan to grow it into something great, by offering a community that breeds interaction, education and discussion.”

The unique services that The Learning Market offers include a listing of UK training companies and consultants, a free search and matching service for training buyers, a directory of open-courses in the UK, a directory of service providers to the training and learning community, a forum for exchanging ideas and networking and the facility to source and discuss anything to do with learning and training. Features coming soon include facility to purchase books, materials and games related to training, ability to book open courses, e-learning courses, and informal networking events. This list is constantly being added to, with The Learning Market soon to become the place “For all things Learning”.


The core of the service is its Find a Trainer feature, which can be found at http://www.thelearningmarket.com/marketplace/find_a_trainer.html, this is a free service for anyone looking for a training solution. A training buyer searching for a particular training programme or consultant completes an online form to start the process. A member of The Learning Market team then contacts the buyer back to discuss the requirement further and to fine-tune the parameters. Finally based on this refined information, a complete search is carried out through The Learning Market’s database of registered members, producing a list of best matched training providers. The result is a reliable, efficient procurement for the buyer and a genuine qualified lead for the chosen suppliers.

For training providers the benefits of registering with The Learning Market are numerous. The advanced search techniques ensure they receive only highly qualified leads from genuine enquiries. A team of experts verifies each lead directly with the potential buyer. Further information can be found at http://www.thelearningmarket.com/training_toolbox/index.html

The Learning Market hopes to attract many unique users per month, and that soon the service will be made available in different countries, and in different languages, delivering a compelling experience and online advertising opportunities to businesses worldwide. The Learning Market is designed to bring together in one place all the people, organisations, information and interests most relevant to learning and development.
