The eLearning Group has been named eLearning Platform of the Year 2026 at the Corporate Livewire Global Innovation and Excellence Awards. We collected it in June.
We shared the news at the time. What we did not do was explain why it mattered to us, so this is that post.
About the award
The Global Innovation and Excellence Awards recognise businesses that have delivered something genuinely useful in their market. Winners are chosen through independent research, client testimonials and a judging process, and the awards are open to companies of any size anywhere in the world.
Which is the part that still surprises us. We are a small company in Teesside.
What it means to us
“To be recognised this early in our journey means a lot. We set out to make eLearning simpler and more human, and the fact that it is being noticed suggests we might be getting somewhere. The credit belongs to the coaches and experts who took a chance on us early.”
Jon Hocker, Founder
Rooted in a simple mission
We founded The eLearning Group in 2022 with one purpose: to help coaches, consultants and knowledge experts turn their expertise into an online course without the tech headache.
Four things have guided every decision since.
Simple. eLearning should be simple to make and simple to use.
Bitesize. Short, focused modules that respect the time people actually have.
Blended. Built for different learning styles and neurodivergent needs, so more people get something from it.
Human. A real person on the end of the phone, not a login and good luck.
Being recognised for that approach, not despite its simplicity but because of it, is genuinely encouraging.
Looking ahead
The award arrives at a useful moment. There is quite a lot coming, and it turned out to be easier to say than to write.
We are grateful to Corporate Livewire for the recognition, and more grateful still to every client who has trusted us with their knowledge and their learners. This one is for them.
