Computeach was the very first independent IT training company in the UK, founded in 1964 by George Parkinson. George established the business in the Midlands, though he was originally from Bolton in Greater Manchester.
Before leaving the army, George Parkinson spent a period of study at Exeter University to train as a lecturer for the Army Bureau of Current Affairs. That training introduced George to some of the fundamentals of distance learning - a methodology which was later to become the foundation on which the Computeach learning system would be built.
Computeach has grown considerably from its humble beginnings of just five staff and twenty students, and is now responsible for thousands of students every year.
Compteach has always been a pioneer in training systems, such as 'Distance' or 'Open' learning.
We are always looking to innovate and make the learning experience as fulfilling as possible for each and every student.
Computeach now offers many different training services from basic to advanced and embraces five fundamental career tracks. These career development programmes are exclusively available to people from all walks of life who want to make the change from unfulfilling jobs to a rewarding career in the IT industry.

In 2005, Computeach became a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Learning Solutions - the first distance learning provider to achieve this prestigious accolade.
In addition to Microsoft accreditation, our unrivalled levels of service have led to accreditation and awards from many industry bodies who recognise and share our goal to provide the best training and unrivalled value for money.
