We are pleased to publish our tenth 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.
