We are pleased to publish our ninth annual table of the
UK Top 50 IT training providers.
How we compile this listing
As we have done in previous years, we gathered the revenues of companies
with IT training businesses and excluded sales of training delivered outside
the UK and non-IT related business from those companies that offer both
types. We also exclude organisations whose revenue is derived principally
from publicly funded training or from military/defence-specific IT training,
training franchises whose revenues consist only of royalties and training
brokers/portals.
Financial results for some of these organisations are on public record.
In those cases, we have used the actual turnover figure for their most
recently reported financial year. For organisations whose turnover is not
published, we have made our best estimate based on the information available
to us. These are marked with an "e" in the "Est?" column.
Figures are UK revenues only, are rounded to
the nearest £100,000 and relate to fiscal years ending in 2006 (i.e.
accounts for the year ending sometime between 1 January 2006 and 31 December
2006) or cover the 2006 calendar year.
N.B. The 2005 revenues (used for last year's Top 50)
of a few companies are now known to have been incorrect. We have not, however,
altered those companies' 2006 rankings but the percentage change in revenue
has been calculated on what we now believe last year's revenues to have
been.
