Descriptiontext

Chorus Training Limited is a private Aberdeen-based software company founded in 2022 by Iain Taylor and Rory Fraser. It sells an AI-enabled unified training, compliance and competence management platform aimed at high-hazard industries — principally energy (oil & gas, renewables, hydrogen), utilities and infrastructure, with transport/logistics and adjacent verticals in the roadmap. The platform integrates a SCORM/xAPI-compliant LMS, an automated real-time compliance matrix, a subcontractor portal with site-level dashboards, and mobile field-assessment tools that capture photo, video and signature evidence to verify on-the-job competence rather than just training completion. It is sold in four tiers (Learn, Prove, Verify, Plan), with the upper tiers adding AI certificate scanning, predictive analytics, AI workforce performance mapping and AI-enabled scenario planning. The product is complemented by a library of 100+ accredited e-learning courses and a bespoke course development service.
