About Boom Training — a Turing College company

Who we are

Boom Training, part of Turing College, helps businesses future-proof their workforce with practical, industry-led training. We specialise in data, AI, and digital skills, offering flexible apprenticeships and commercial training programmes that drive measurable business impact.

Our approach is simple: high-quality training designed for real-world application. We work closely with HR leaders, L&D teams, and business executives to upskill employees in a way that fits seamlessly into work schedules — without disrupting productivity.

Our mission

We believe that high-quality education should be accessible to everyone, everywhere, and at scale.

One of our biggest inspirations is Bloom’s Two Sigma Problem — a groundbreaking study showing that learners who receive 1:1 tutoring outperform 98% of their peers, jumping from the 50th to the 98th percentile.

The takeaway was clear: personalised learning works. But the real challenge is making this level of success scalable — in a way that works for both businesses and employees.

We built a model that delivers the benefits of 1:1 tutoring at scale. We provide a transformative learning experience that helps businesses upskill their employees efficiently — without disrupting work.

We combine structured learning with:

Expert mentorship

Peer-to-peer collaboration

Hands-on projects

Our learning model

Mastery-based learning for stronger outcomes

Employees progress only after demonstrating mastery of each topic, ensuring deep understanding before moving forward.

Hands-on, project-based approach

Training is built around real-world projects, simulating actual business scenarios to reinforce practical skills.

Peer-to-peer learning and gamified feedback

Learners review each other’s work, strengthening their own understanding while improving critical thinking and communication skills.

Apprenticeships for AI economy

Apprenticeships date back to 12th-century Britain as a way for young people to learn trades. While the methods have evolved, the goal remains the same—transferring skills from experts to the next generation.

Most current apprenticeship models still rely on an outdated 18th-19th-century approach: one teacher, many students. We think that’s obsolete.

Medieval era

12th–15th century

Personal mentorship

Apprentices learned directly from master craftsmen through real work.

Long-term commitment

Training lasted 7+ years, with apprentices living and working under their mentor’s guidance.

Industrial revolution

18th-20th century

Factory-based apprenticeships

Training moved from small workshops to large-scale industrial settings.

Specialisation

Apprentices trained in specific trades rather than broad crafts to meet industry demands.

Tech and AI era

21st century

Our 21st-century model replaces one-to-many with one-to-one, providing unlimited, personalized support from AI and industry professionals. Learning should feel like real work.

AI revolution

Training mimics real-world projects, not passive Zoom lectures. With programmes designed in collaboration with employers, apprentices work on actual business challenges from day one.

AI skills

Every programme includes AI fundamentals, data analysis, and prompt engineering.

AI-augmented

Learners use AI as a productivity multiplier, making the best of its strengths while sharpening their critical thinking and creativity.

Focus on soft skills

Beyond technical training, apprentices develop communication, problem-solving, and ethical decision-making skills with the help of a dedicated community.

Flexible learning

Apprentices book sessions on their schedule, ensuring learning never disrupts productivity.

Industry-expert mentors

Every mentor is an active industry professional who allocates their free time to provide feedback and share knowledge with apprentices — not a career academic.

In the AI economy, anyone can become 10x more productive. Yet most online education relies on outdated, industrial age teaching methods, limiting workforce potential. Boom Training redefines apprenticeships with a flexible, state-of-the-art platform built for progressive, AI-driven employers.
