About us
The Training Foundation is focused on assisting our public and private sector clients to achieve stepchange performance improvement through innovation in learning. We do that by helping them develop best-in-class learning strategies and standards and by providing development programmes for everyone involved in the learning process.
We are based at the University of Warwick Science Park although we have completed assignments in 17 countries! We are passionate about learning and the impact it can have on performance - yet we realise that less than 10% of the £23b pa currently invested in training by UK Plc actually feeds its way through to business performance improvement. Our clients are committed to achieving much better outcomes than that!
This leads to everything we do being designed, developed and delivered with organisational performance improvement at the very heart of our thinking. For more on this, see the personal message from our founder and Chief Executive, Nick Mitchell.
From a decade in working with many leading organisations we have evolved an innovative approach to performance through learning. Clients range from Tesco to the NHS, from Carphone Warehouse to Leeds City Council, from Barclaycard to the MOD. Each has had its own specific needs and challenges. Our flagship programme enabling stepchange performance for our clients is the TAP Learning System.
In October 2005, we were honoured to receive the Queen's Award for Innovation for this programme and as we work in partnership with our clients, we have been very happy to share this recognition with many of them by way of the TAP Partners Programme (see TAP website for programme details).
If we are not already doing so, we would very much like to work with you to enhance your people development initiatives!

“A learning culture needs to permeate every level. Probably the key role of the L&D function is to facilitate a learning culture and promote the development of a learning organisation”
Adrian Snook, Director of Professional Services and Deputy Chief Executive
“An organisation’s very survival depends on its ability to learn. Learning means adapting to change and today the imperative is to learn, adapt and innovate faster than the competition. In the global economy, harnessing the full potential of people is the critical activity”
Ron Mackrell, Director of the TAP Partners Programme
