2005
Kineo was founded with the intention to stir things up in the learning industry. It all stems from a simple idea – design a better learning experience to get better results.
We're here to improve performance in your business by creating a better workplace learning experience
Everything we do stems from that simple idea: if we design a better experience, together we'll get better results. Workplace learning and development doesn't need to be boring - let's shake things up for your people and give them what they need to do a great job.
From your L&D strategy through to designing effective content and a powerful platform to deliver it, we'll partner with you every step of the way.
Good relationships are the foundation of our success
At Kineo we couldn't do what we do without the help of great relationships – with our customers and delivery partners.
We joined City & Guilds in 2012. Together with The Oxford Group we offer world-class workplace learning and development for leading businesses across the globe.
As a City & Guilds business we're part of a powerful global community, leading the way in skills development, technology and credentialing.
Each brand has its own focus but we're united by our purpose - helping people and organisations develop skills for growth. And by working together we can offer end to end skills development solutions to customers around the world.
