In 2019, Comply Guru was launched as an Accredited Training Provider specializing in new innovative learning methodologies to offer globally recognized qualifications that are available in an online, face-to-face or blended format.
At the time, and still very much the case today, it is difficult to get the training you need, when you need it. Our Founder, Eoin P. Kelly, identified a major gap in the market for learning solutions that were more dynamic, flexible, and convenient for the modern workforce that juggles busy professional and/or personal lives. We are proud to say that our training has been delivered globally and is trusted by both Leading Organizations in Industry & Notified Bodies.
Comply Guru has the distinction of being the first learning provider in the world to achieve multi-accreditations for our learning methodologies in the industries we serve.
I founded Comply Guru as I saw a major gap for training that is more accessible, flexible, and scalable. From the outset, we have been committed to offering innovative learning solutions that are highly effective. Whether it is an online, face to face, or blended format, we have it covered.
Our team of industry experts, experienced Instructors, graphic and instructional designers combined are helping transform training and deliver learning solutions that are trusted & recognized globally.
