Cedar Pro

What Cedar Pro does

Cedar Pro (legal entity: Cedar Pro Learning Ltd, trading as Cedar Pro Academy) is a UK-based technology training and consulting company headquartered in Isleworth, London, with an operational office in East Molesey. The company delivers professional courses in Project Management, AI & Data Science, Scrum Master, Cybersecurity, Data Analyst, PMO Analyst, and Data/AI-Driven Product Manager & Business Analyst, marketed primarily to career changers transitioning from non-technical roles into tech positions. Technology and delivery infrastructure consist of a proprietary Learning Management System for self-paced e-Learning, live online instructor-led sessions, and in-person boot camps at client sites. A 3-month practical work experience component is integrated into courses, and the company publishes "The Ultimate Project Play Book" (£10) as a supplementary learning resource.

Revenue is generated through three streams: individual course sales (one-time fees with a 60% upfront / 40% within 4 weeks payment plan), corporate training and consulting services (on-site boot camps, lunch-and-learn series, Cedar Implementation, Cedar AI & Automation, Cedar Risk Assurance), and book sales. The go-to-market is hybrid and sales-led: individual learners book free 30-minute taster classes via Calendly with CEO Anthony Baafi, while corporate clients receive bespoke programs. Named corporate logos (HSBC, Vodafone, NHS, King's College London, CBRE, Legacy Partnership, Payservices) appear primarily as documented graduate placement destinations rather than disclosed B2B training contracts. The company is privately held, founder-owned by CEO Anthony Baafi, bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, and operates at 11-50 employees.
