NHLearning Solutions

What NHLearning Solutions does

NHLearning Solutions, operating as New Horizons Worldwide, is an IT training and certification provider founded in 1983 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The company delivers 900+ technology and business skills courses across three delivery modalities: live virtual instructor-led training (VILT), on-demand self-paced learning, and in-person classroom instruction. Its catalog spans cloud platforms (Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, Red Hat), networking (Cisco), cybersecurity (CompTIA, EC-Council), project management (PMI), IT service management (ITIL), and emerging categories including artificial intelligence and machine learning. The company maintains 35+ authorized training partnerships with major technology vendors, enabling delivery of official vendor certification curricula that unauthorized providers cannot offer. Its platform includes a virtual lab environment that simulates real-world enterprise technology stacks for hands-on practice.

The company serves three primary customer segments: enterprise teams requiring workforce upskilling, individual professionals pursuing certification, and government and military organizations — including Department of Defense workforce training for CMMC and DoD compliance. New Horizons is a subsidiary of Educate 360, a holding company based in West Lafayette, Indiana, that operates multiple training and education brands.

Revenue is generated through three pricing structures: pay-as-you-go VILT course enrollment, monthly subscription for on-demand content, and multi-year private group contracts for enterprise workforce training. The business operates on a sales-led go-to-market motion targeting both direct enterprise accounts and individual learners. The company reports training approximately 100,000 students annually and maintains an instructor quality rating of 4.8 out of 5. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or financial disclosures are publicly available.
