What Resource Group - Training does

Resource Group - Training is a UK-based aviation maintenance training organisation operating under the legal entity LRTT Ltd, headquartered at Cotswold Airport in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Founded in 2004 as a Part 147 training organisation, the company holds dual UK CAA and EASA Part-147 approval and delivers approved training across the full Part-66 syllabus for CAT A, B1, and B2 aircraft maintenance licences. The firm also offers apprenticeship programmes through APAR (UKPRN 10020604), short technical eLearning courses (Human Factors, EWIS, Fuel Tank Safety), composites and practical skills training, and bespoke managed services for aviation employers. Its claimed customer base includes British Airways, easyJet, Ryanair, Virgin Atlantic, Airbus, Babcock, AirTanker, CHC, Gama Aviation, and Swiss, alongside claimed activity in government/defence, rotary, business aviation, and space segments.

The company's core technology is the iAcademy digital learning portal, paired with the Absorb Learning App for offline mobile study. Courseware is interactive, featuring motion graphics, 3D visuals, video-based content, progress tracking, and timed mock assessments. Pricing is published in GBP/EUR/USD and structured around individual modules (£84-£389), licence bundles (CAT A £948-£1,295; B1 ~£1,007-£1,371; B2 ~£1,029-£1,323), and short eLearning courses (£34-£60), with separate exam fees of £75-£130 per session. Subscription durations range from 3 to 24 months, and bundled purchases include disclosed savings of up to £456 versus à la carte modules.

The business model combines self-serve e-commerce (product-led growth) for individual maintenance professionals with direct enterprise sales for managed services and bespoke programmes. Distribution is hybrid: a global digital portal for content delivery is paired with a physical network of 10 exam hubs across the UK (Aberdeen, Humberside, Luton, Manchester, Perth, Stansted), Amsterdam, Denmark (via AEROTEAM partnership), and Shannon Ireland. Additional revenue streams include apprenticeship delivery, learning design services via resourcelearning.co.uk, and ELCAS-funded training for UK armed forces personnel. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, no institutional investment, and no public reporting of revenue.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• 43 Air School: South Africa-based aviation training organisation offering pilot and aircraft maintenance training across African markets. Comparable as a Part-147-style training provider outside Resource Group's European footprint, illustrating the geographic opportunity for further expansion.
• BAA Training: Lithuania-based aviation training organisation offering pilot, cabin crew and maintenance training across European and Asian locations. Comparable as an aviation training provider targeting European and emerging-market airline customers, though with stronger pilot training emphasis.

Broad incumbents

• CAE: Global aviation training platform offering pilot, cabin-crew and maintenance training across dozens of locations. Overlaps with Resource Group on aviation maintenance and workforce development, but operates at much larger scale and across broader customer segments.
• FlightSafety International: Long-established aviation training provider covering flight crew, maintenance and emergency-response training. Comparable in regulatory-approved aviation training depth, but with a primarily US-centric footprint and significant flight-simulator infrastructure.
• Jeppesen (Boeing): Boeing-owned provider of aviation training, charting and operational solutions. Overlaps with Resource Group on maintenance training content and digital courseware delivery, but operates as part of Boeing's broader commercial aviation portfolio.
• Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University: Largest US-based aeronautical university offering degree programmes plus FAA-approved maintenance training. Comparable on aviation maintenance curriculum depth but differs in degree-granting academic model versus Resource Group's professional certification focus.

Direct peers

• Pan Am International Flight Academy: Provides FAA-approved Part-147 aviation maintenance technician training alongside pilot training across US and international centres. Closely aligned on regulatory-approved maintenance training model, though primarily US regulatory framework rather than EASA/UKCAA.
• Aviation Training Academy (ATA): Independent EASA Part-147 approved organisation delivering Part-66 training with self-study and instructor-led formats. Direct competitor on regulatory-approved maintenance licence training in the European market.
• Lufthansa Technical Training: EASA Part-147 approved training organisation offering Part-66, type training and practical skills across multiple European sites. Most direct competitor in the European aviation maintenance training market, with comparable regulatory status and broader geographic reach.

Emerging players

• Global Air Training: Specialised EASA Part-66 training provider with UK exam centres and online self-study options. Direct niche competitor in the Part-66 self-study subscription segment, with overlapping product format and pricing structure.
