This awards program calls attention to organizations that have developed, implemented, or delivered exceptional learning programs and initiatives during the past year; presented by the LLPA, a consortium of leading training providers in more than 55 countries and sponsored by Pearson VUE.

“It is an honor to recognize the winner and finalists of the Galileo Global Education Revolution Award,” said Patrick Kersten, Chairman of the Board, The LLPA. “These organizations presented impressive learning initiatives that are successfully driving their digital transformation strategies – from high train-to-cert ratios to accelerating new cloud skills through bootcamps and tailored-made courses. In 2021 winning organization Capgemini trained more than 4,600 of its employees. They designed an initiative that combined skilling and certification of Azure cloud skills and achieved a 90% train-to-cert ratio within a 5-month period.
