What iungo Solutions does

iungo Solutions Limited is a UK-based, multi-accredited training and examinations provider headquartered in Cardiff, founded in 2020 by Jessica Leigh Jones MBE and Tom de Vall. The company delivers apprenticeships (Levels 2–5), Skills Bootcamps (8–16 weeks), professional certifications (Microsoft, AWS, Cisco, CompTIA, PRINCE2, CSSC Lean Six Sigma, ILM), and labour market intelligence consultancy across four customer segments: employers (private sector), Further Education colleges, schools, and government/local authorities. Apprenticeships and bootcamps are largely funded through UK and Welsh Government schemes (Apprenticeship Levy, Skills Bootcamps, Personal Learning Accounts, Adult Skills Fund), with regional procurement via West of England Combined Authority, Cardiff Capital Region, Torfaen, and Devon County Council. Direct commercial revenue is generated through paid certification prep courses, exam vouchers, venue hire, and consultancy (Data as a Service).

The technology stack rests on three proprietary assets: the OpusDB Careers IAG Database (4.5M+ career routes powering the Cardiff Council partnership site), the Onion Skin Learning Model (a blended delivery methodology spanning Levels 2–5 across priority sectors), and the only end-to-end Pearson Vue Train & Test operation in Wales (Cardiff). Multi-accredited approvals span WJEC Eduqas (where iungo is preferred provider for the UK’s first semiconductor qualifications), Gateway Qualifications (UK-first quantum developer qualifications), Agored Cymru (200+ qualifications), AIM Qualifications, ILM, PeopleCert, and Pearson Vue. The company operates three UK delivery centres (Cardiff Bay HQ, Cardiff City Centre, Bristol QC30) with a headcount of approximately 15, and distributes via an FE college subcontracting network (Bridgend, Coleg Sir Gar, Coleg y Cymoedd, Coleg Cambria, Cardiff and Vale College, and others).

The business model combines sales-led B2B outreach (employers, colleges, government) with public scheduled individual learner cohorts and a self-serve exam booking channel. Named employer engagement includes PwC, Principality Building Society, Admiral Plc, and Inmation (Wales’ first FinTech and Advanced Manufacturing Skills Bootcamps in 2021), alongside Cardiff Council and Department-for-Work-and-Pensions referral pathways for individual learners. iungo positions itself on workforce outcome metrics — apprenticeship upskilling at ~£6,600 versus £60,273 open-vacancy recruitment cost, and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt projects yielding ~£200k median savings — anchored in funded, employer-validated curriculum that competitors face significant accreditation barriers to replicate.
