About Learning Curve Group

Learning Curve Group specialise in education and training for FE providers, employers and learners. They support apprenticeships, diplomas, literacy and numeracy qualifications, vocational certificate programmes and short courses.

Founded in 2004, Learning Curve today is headquartered in County Durham, with nine centres nationwide that include skill centres in Leeds and Middlesbrough and an academy centre in Sunderland.

There’s a team of over 500 staff and associates under Chief Executive Officer Brenda McLeish and the chairmanship of Martin McCourt, who helped transform British electronics firm Dyson into an international force.

The company is directly funded by the Skills Funding Agency and Education Funding Agency, helping to deliver over £20 million of skills funding per year.

Charity is key to the group and staff vote on a new cause to support each year. The company has raised many thousands for Great North Air Ambulance Service, the Meridian Centre in Bradford and the Tees Valley Women’s Centre.
