Training Industry is the most trusted source of information on the business of learning. Our Top Training Outsourcing List is based on thorough analysis of the capabilities, experience and expertise of training outsourcing providers.
Training outsourcing is the business strategy for which a company utilizes an external supplier for the management of training processes and/or activities. Training outsourcing is the broader term, which includes multiple forms, or strategies, for utilizing external resources, including contracting, licensing, selecting outsourcing, and comprehensive outsourcing and BPO.
Training outsourcing suppliers manage not only courses/course content, but the training process, services and/or administrative activities.
We continuously monitor the training marketplace looking for the best providers of training outsourcing that offer a strong and diverse set of services and offerings. This annual list is designed to help buy-side organizations in their search for the right training partners.
Selection of this year’s Top Training Outsourcing Companies List was based on the following criteria:
- Industry visibility, innovation and impact.
- Capability of delivering multiple types of training services.
- Company size and growth potential.
- Strength of clients and geographic reach.
