About Boom Training — a Turing College company
Who we are
Boom Training, part of Turing College, helps businesses future-proof their workforce with practical, industry-led training. We specialise in data, AI, and digital skills, offering flexible apprenticeships and commercial training programmes that drive measurable business impact.
Our approach is simple: high-quality training designed for real-world application. We work closely with HR leaders, L&D teams, and business executives to upskill employees in a way that fits seamlessly into work schedules — without disrupting productivity.
Our mission
We believe that high-quality education should be accessible to everyone, everywhere, and at scale.
One of our biggest inspirations is Bloom’s Two Sigma Problem — a groundbreaking study showing that learners who receive 1:1 tutoring outperform 98% of their peers, jumping from the 50th to the 98th percentile.
The takeaway was clear: personalised learning works. But the real challenge is making this level of success scalable — in a way that works for both businesses and employees.
We built a model that delivers the benefits of 1:1 tutoring at scale. We provide a transformative learning experience that helps businesses upskill their employees efficiently — without disrupting work.
Our learning model
Our blended learning model provides the best of both worlds: the flexibility of online education with the effectiveness of face-to-face learning.
Mastery-based learning for stronger outcomes
Employees progress only after demonstrating mastery of each topic, ensuring deep understanding before moving forward.
Hands-on, project-based approach
Every programme includes real-world projects, simulating actual business scenarios to reinforce practical skills.
Peer-to-peer learning and gamified feedback
Learners review each other's work, strengthening their own understanding while improving critical thinking and collaboration.
1:1 mentorship and unlimited support
Learners receive personalised support from industry experts with 5+ years of experience. They also get access to a global network of 3,000+ peers and 140+ mentors, ensuring faster learning and deeper insights.
Apprenticeships for AI economy
Apprenticeships date back to 12th-century Britain as a way for young people to learn trades. While the methods have evolved, the goal remains the same — transferring skills from experts to the next generation.
Most current apprenticeship models still rely on an outdated 18th–19th-century approach: one teacher, many students. We think that's obsolete.
Medieval era
12th–15th century
Personal mentorship
Apprentices learned directly from master craftsmen through real work.
Long-term commitment
Training lasted 7+ years, with apprentices living and working under their mentor's guidance.
Industrial revolution
18th–20th century
Factory-based apprenticeships
Training moved from small workshops to large-scale industrial settings.
Specialisation
Apprentices trained in specific trades rather than broad crafts to meet industry demands.
Tech and AI era
21st century
Our 21st-century model replaces one-to-many with one-to-one, providing unlimited, personalized support from AI and industry professionals. Learning should feel like real work.
In the AI economy, anyone can become 10x more productive. Yet most online education relies on outdated, industrial age teaching methods, limiting workforce potential. Boom Training redefines apprenticeships with a flexible, state-of-the-art platform built for progressive, AI-driven employers.
