The Virtual College Story

How have we got here?

Since 1995, Virtual College has been a pioneer in digital learning, transforming how compliance training is delivered. Founded by Rod Knox and Bob Gomersall, we started with CD-ROMs and evolved with technology to provide cutting-edge eLearning solutions. We recognised early on that compliance training didn’t have to be face-to-face to be effective, and we’ve always prioritised learner experience.

Now, as part of the Netex Learning family, we are taking our passion for innovation even further, ensuring organisations stay ahead with training that is engaging, accessible, and up to date.
