UK's Top 50 IT Training Companies 2007

UK Top 50 IT training companies - 2008

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 2007 (i.e. accounts for the year ending sometime between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2007) or cover the 2007 calendar year.

N.B. The 2006 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' 2007 rankings but the percentage change in revenue has been calculated on what we now believe last year's revenues to have been.
