Glasgow
We are a learning company founded on a passion to deliver the highest quality
and most flexible training programmes possible – ones that make a real
difference to learners and employers alike. Since we started, we have helped
thousands of people to take their knowledge, skills and careers to the next
level. We are specialists in Human Resources, Learning & Development and
Business Management training courses covering the full spectrum from entry-level
courses through to postgraduate-equivalent qualifications. Our team of expert
tutors work at the forefront of new thinking and practice, and we’re delighted
to have been recognised as one of the best CIPD training centres. We started in
2007, in order to offer a more flexible and cost-effective alternative to
existing CIPD courses. Our founder Julie Cook (a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD,
with a background in HR management) had worked for the CIPD in a role managing
the business school and local college. She noticed that a large portion of
student fees were allocated to college overheads and central student services,
such as empty buildings and long college holidays. This inspired her to set up
Acacia Learning, whose model was to hire tutors and rooms only when needed, and
provide many more study options, in order to better serve those with busy work
schedules and lives. Since then Acacia has grown significantly. We now offer
100% online Business Management qualifications, such as PRINCE2® project
management qualifications. What's more, we add new study options, locations and
major clients every year.
