What Training Bytesize does

Training ByteSize is a UK-based, family-run private limited company (Training Byte Size Ltd) that delivers accredited project management and IT service management training. Founded in 2012 by Martyn Kinch and Heather Scott, the founders had previously established Key Skills in the 1990s and developed the world's first accredited e-learning course for PRINCE2; the company is now led by second-generation Managing Director Victoria Graham. It operates from headquarters in Nantwich, Cheshire (5 George House, Princes Court, Beam Heath Way) with a regional office on the Gold Coast, Australia, established in 2016 and managed by James Kinch as Country Manager Asia Pacific. The company serves individual professionals and corporate clients globally, with named enterprise and government customers including Bentley Motors, Rolls-Royce, PwC, WSP, Turner & Townsend, United Utilities, Veolia, QinetiQ, AWE, the University of Manchester, UK Parliament, House of Lords, and the Home Office.

The product portfolio spans more than 20 accredited courses covering PRINCE2 (7th Edition Foundation, Practitioner, Agile), APM (PFQ, PMQ, ChPP), AgilePM v3, MSP, P3O, ITIL (4 and 5 plus bridging), BCS Business Analysis, Change Management, M_o_R 4, Scrum (ABC Scrum Master, Professional Scrum Master), Praxis, Better Business Cases, Managing Benefits, BRM, SDI Service Desk, CP3P, and an APMG-accredited AI Project Governance Framework course. Delivery is multimodal — self-paced e-learning on a proprietary LMS at lms.trainingbytesize.com with 6-month access, live virtual classroom, in-person classroom at the Nantwich centre (with residential option including B&B), and blended formats. Technology components include interactive multimedia course content (voice-over, animations, videos, downloadable documents), exam practice modules and quiz banks, remote invigilation for online exams, and a virtual classroom equipped with ceiling-mounted camera tracking, radio microphones, and room microphones. Accreditations are held from APM (ranked Top 5 APM training provider globally), APMG International, PeopleCert (PRINCE2 ATO), BCS, SDI, Scrum.org, Agile Business Consortium, and CP3P, alongside Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications.

Commercially, Training ByteSize generates revenue through five streams: individual course sales at £185-£2,395+VAT, corporate/group training packages with up to 30% volume discounts, official exam fees (with a Take2 re-sit option at £60), add-ons including hard copy handbooks (£85), tutor email support (£49) and extra residential nights (£120/night), and residential training packages. Go-to-market is hybrid: a self-serve e-commerce storefront for individual learners plus sales-led outreach for corporate group packages, supported by a multi-channel marketing mix that includes a blog, the ByteSize podcast, free downloadable resources, organic social on LinkedIn/Facebook/YouTube/X/Instagram, email marketing, and SEO. Distribution spans self-serve LMS access globally, virtual classroom globally, regional classroom training at Nantwich, and Asia Pacific sales via the Gold Coast office, with ELCAS approval extending reach into UK armed forces personnel. The company is bootstrapped and independently owned by the founding family across two generations, with no external institutional investment disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Learning Tree International: Established IT and management training provider offering project management, Agile, and IT service management courses to enterprise clients globally. Comparable on PM/ITSM training scope but operates as a broader incumbent rather than a certification-specialist.
• Skillsoft: Large enterprise learning platform offering broad IT, business, and project management content including PM and Agile courses. Adjacent rather than direct competition — competes on corporate training budgets but with a wider catalogue and subscription-based model rather than certification exam prep specialism.

Direct peers

• Global Knowledge: Worldwide enterprise IT and project management training provider delivering PRINCE2, ITIL, and Agile certifications across multiple geographies. Overlaps with Training ByteSize on enterprise corporate training and accreditation partnerships, though at much greater scale.
• Simplilearn: Large global digital training provider offering PRINCE2, PMP, Agile, and IT certification bootcamps and self-paced courses. Comparable on PM/Agile certification catalogue and self-paced delivery, though significantly larger and more venture-funded.
• The Knowledge Academy: Major UK and global training provider delivering PRINCE2, PMP, Agile, and business analysis courses across classroom, online, and on-site formats. Closely comparable on course catalogue, customer mix (individuals + corporates), and delivery model to Training ByteSize.
• QA (QA Limited): One of the UK's largest corporate training providers with extensive PRINCE2, ITIL, Agile, and project management portfolios. Overlaps directly with Training ByteSize on PM/ITSM certifications but operates at substantially larger scale with broader technology and management course coverage.
• KnowledgeHut: Global professional training company offering PRINCE2, PMP, CSM, SAFe, and related certifications in live-virtual and e-learning formats. Direct comparable on course portfolio, delivery modalities, and individual/corporate audience targeting.
• ILX Group: UK-headquartered accredited training provider offering PRINCE2, ITIL, Agile, and APM courses via classroom, virtual, and e-learning formats. Direct competitor to Training ByteSize in the UK PM/ITSM certification market with very similar catalogue and customer segments.
• Good e-Learning: Specialist accredited e-learning provider focused on PRINCE2, ITIL, Agile, and project management certifications. Direct competitor in self-paced online delivery, sharing the same accreditation stack (PeopleCert, AXELOS) and individual-learner go-to-market.
• Firebrand Training: UK-based accelerated training provider offering PRINCE2, ITIL, and other certifications through intensive classroom and online programmes. Competes head-on with Training ByteSize on accredited certification courses, particularly in the UK enterprise market.
