Trigraph

What Trigraph does

Trigraph is an Irish professional training services firm that delivers project management, programme management, risk management, ICT, and emerging-technology training to enterprise and public-sector clients. Founded in Dublin in 2003 by Jim Maher and currently led by CEO David Magee, the company rebranded to Trigraph Intelligent Learning in 2024 and now operates as a fully remote organization. The company is an Authorized Training Organization (ATO) for PeopleCert, delivering accredited certifications including PRINCE2, MSP, ITIL, and AgilePM, and states it has trained more than 18,000 people across 150+ client organizations.

Trigraph monetizes through fee-based training engagements — in-house courses priced at approximately €1,650–€1,750 per day per client — plus a PeopleCert Plus subscription at €142/year for ongoing practitioner support. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with channel partnerships: it is one of IDA Ireland's longest-standing training partners (20+ years) and works with Skillnet Ireland's 70+ business networks, Enterprise Ireland, and the Local Enterprise Offices. Named enterprise customers span pharmaceutical and medical-device multinationals (Novartis, AbbVie, Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Stryker, Merit Medical, Teleflex, Penn Engineering, Baxter Healthcare, Siemens Healthineers, Celestica) alongside financial-services and academic buyers (Barclays, Trinity College Dublin).

The company's underlying "product" is its trainer bench — experienced practitioners drawn from IBM, Dell EMC, GE, and other large enterprises — wrapped around accredited content and a delivery model that supports in-person, virtual classroom, and self-paced formats. Recent product expansion has added an AI awareness training curriculum (covering generative AI, prompt engineering, and workplace implications) staffed by an in-house AI Consultant, and Microsoft Power BI / Power Platform data-analytics courses, reflecting a deliberate pivot toward higher-demand enterprise skill areas while extending the core certification business.

• AXELOS: Owner of ITIL and PRINCE2 frameworks (formerly a joint venture of Capita and the UK Cabinet Office); a key ecosystem counterpart whose ATO programme Trigraph depends on for certification delivery.
• Skillnet Ireland: Irish state-funded enterprise learning network of ~70 Skillnet clusters; both a partner and an indirect competitor as it funds and channels training demand that Trigraph helps deliver.

Direct peers

• QA Limited: Large UK-based training provider offering PRINCE2, ITIL, Microsoft, and Lean Six Sigma courses, overlapping directly with Trigraph's course catalogue and PeopleCert partnership model.
• KnowledgeHut: Global provider of PRINCE2, PMP, Scrum, Lean Six Sigma and IT certification training with a similar virtual/in-person blended delivery model.
