About Us

Our Story

Framework Training was launched in 2010. From the outset, we’ve passionately sought to deliver the very best face-to-face technical education so our clients can gain sustainable business value and stay competitive in the digital economy.

We have the pleasure to work with domain experts - the very best in their field - and our network of instructors is always expanding. We are constantly looking for ways to increase diversity across our instructor team.

We have always aimed to ensure great coverage of emerging technologies which show the potential to be real enterprise game-changers, while maintaining a solid range of core software development, data science and deployment platform training syllabuses.

Our locations

Our original base of operations was in London - which is still our training hub for public courses - but our Head Office is now in the beautiful Wiltshire village of Aldbourne.

When we look out the window, we often see cows. Which is always a good thing.

Here are our friendly neighbours.

Our new team members

We currently have a team of five working in our lovely rural location. The team has grown this year - we welcomed two new members to the Framework family.

Here is our new Head Of Marketing, Iris, and Paul, our Client Liaison Lead, with our canine office assistant, Ted.

He's the real boss!

Our certifications

We are registered with the UK Register of Learning Providers - our UKPRN is 10049044. We are also registered with a number of public sector procurement portals such as Civil Service Learning, Ariba, and Coupa.

We are always happy to work with customers and organisations who have specific purchasing protocols and procedures - let us know if you need us to provide extra information to help your procurement department bring us on board.

Data Security

Your data privacy and security is of paramount importance to us. We take great efforts to ensure the correct treatment of your information.

We're a certified Cyber Essentials scheme member, which also helps us to comply with private and public sector tendering policies.

It's probably also worth mentioning we have been running our site on SSL / https for many years, and all credit card transactions are conducted securely by our processor, Stripe, which has an excellent track record and Level 1 PCI DSS certification.

Tom Walker

Read Bio

Tom started off his IT career back in ’97 working in (and later running) customer support for a popular multimedia publishing company. It was simultaneously very rewarding and highly draining, but he looks back on his time on the helpdesk with great fondness.

The move into technical training came naturally – although it was difficult at first to shake off the pavlovian reaction to incoming phonecalls. From here his voyage into geekhood was unavoidably hastened.

Outside the office, Tom divides his time between his family (he’s outnumbered 4:1 in the battle of the sexes), drumming along to old jazz / funk records, writing electronic music, reading sci-fi, and feeding his video game addiction. Tom can order a beer, express gratitude, and apologise profusely in at least 10 different languages.

Ian Watson

Read Bio

After graduating from the Royal Northern College of Music and subsequently working as a freelance classical double bass player, Ian spent 20 years working in software services with the last 10 years in the software development training sector.

A passion for all things computer-related was sparked by receiving a ZX81 for his 9th birthday which was followed by a chain of much-loved home computers, most of which he still has.

Pleasant distractions from work include his young family, his guitars, way too many books, an obsession with cooking, fixing old cars, and a life-long love of sailing (both armchair and the real thing).
