About us and our history

EDLounge Ltd is based in Dinnington near Sheffield, became a Registered Apprenticeship and Work-Based learning Training Provider. EDLounge is Proudly listed with the Register of Training Organisations and Registered Apprenticeship Training Provider (ROATP). EDLounge became a supplier of training and education in 2012, as an accredited center of the awarding body Edexcel.   The concentrates and goal from the very beginning were to be an online flexible learning provider. Whilst delivering courses directly and delivering over 3,000 qualifications, EDLounge has seen considerable growth in its; online business, capabilities, and product development. EDLounge has delivered successful programs for adults who have encountered difficulties in their past education as part of a pre-employment program as well as delivering work-related qualifications. In 2017 EDLounge was accepted onto the Register of Training Organisations (ROTO) which provided the opportunity to become involved in delivering government-funded learning programs using the EDLounge experience of blended and online learning.  In May 2017 we qualified to become a Registered Apprenticeship Training Provider (ROATP). In 2018, EDLounge became 1 of 32 Training Providers across the UK chosen to become a Prime Funder and provider, delivering online/blended education through the Flexible Learning Fund (FLF) Pilot project, which was launched that year. The objective of the FLF Pilot was to develop flexible and accessible methods of teaching delivery for adults, through a combination of traditional classroom teaching, along with online distance learning. This would create a flexible learning experience, with learners provided access to 24/7 learning.  Ofsted completed a monitoring visit of EDLounge Group Ltd in July 2019. The monitoring visit looked entirely at our leadership team and recruitment, our commitment to meeting the wants of vulnerable adults, our commitment to developing learners’ abilities, our stringent safeguarding of young people, and our high-quality specialist training.  All our qualifications meet the skills, behaviors, attitudes, and standards required by awarding bodies. In September 2020 we began our Apprenticeship and Work-Based Learning journey by way of a matchless mixed approach developed off the feedback given from the Ofsted Monitoring provision.   In March 2021 EDLounge offers a broad curriculum that meets the needs of apprentices and employers. Offering standard-based apprenticeships from levels 2 to 7, these areas are: Accountancy, Broadcast and Media, Business Administration, Customer Service Practitioner, Digital Marketer, Learning and Skills Teacher, Rail Engineering Operative, Software Developer/Tester and Team Leader supervisor apprenticeships.
