Target Zero Group

What Target Zero Group does

Target Zero Group (legally Target Zero Consultants Ltd) is a UK-based, privately held training provider founded in 2016 that delivers accredited construction, infrastructure, and occupational health and safety courses through a dual classroom-and-online model. The company operates seven training venues across England — Chelmsford, Peterborough, Crawley, Sheffield, Stratford, Barking and Waltham Abbey — alongside nationwide online delivery, serving both individual learners and corporate clients. Course coverage spans CITB-accredited qualifications (SMSTS, SSSTS, Temporary Works, SEATS), NEBOSH General and Construction Certificates, IOSH Managing Safely and Working Safely, NPORS plant machinery, EUSR/NRSWA utility courses, NVQ Levels 2-7, First Aid, Mental Health First Aid England, IEMA environmental management, plus a library of 180+ on-demand e-learning courses covering Health & Safety, Food Hygiene, Mental Health, Marketing and Professional Skills.

The company's core technology stack centres on a proprietary cloud-based Learning Management System branded 'Manage My Courses', which provides live seat availability, delegate tracking, qualification management and bulk corporate booking through a dedicated business portal. Target Zero's go-to-market is hybrid: a self-serve direct-to-consumer online booking channel for individuals, a sales-led enterprise motion with dedicated account managers handling corporate enquiries, an affiliate referral programme for partner-driven distribution, and on-site closed-course delivery for large organisations. Revenue is generated through one-time course fees (typically £149-£1,450 depending on course type and duration), recurring annual subscriptions for corporate accounts of 10-5,000 users, volume-based bulk pricing, and interest-free payment plans via BuyOnline, Klarna pay-in-3 and PayPal.

The company holds a dense regulatory and industry accreditation portfolio — including NEBOSH Leading Partner status, CITB Approved Training Provider, IOSH Approved Training Provider, BSI Certified, MHFA England Approved Provider, EUSR Approved, ProQual Approved Centre, NPORS accredited, and Street Works UK registration — which collectively map directly to mandatory CSCS card pathways used by UK construction employers. Named enterprise customers span Tier 1 construction contractors (Skanska, Mace, Laing O'Rourke, Kier, BAM, Morgan Sindall, Wates, McLaren), major utilities (UK Power Networks, Anglian Water, Scottish Power, Energy Assets, Magnox), infrastructure bodies (Network Rail, Transport for London, UK Ministry of Defence), government/health (NHS), and large consumer-facing enterprises (Tesco, Sainsbury's Bank, Virgin Media, GSK, Ericsson, Nestle), indicating penetration across multiple regulated, safety-sensitive verticals.
