our story.
a business built on values, passion and wanting to have some fun!
Our business started as a conversation between two friends in early 2012. We asked ourselves, how could we go it alone and create something that echoed our personalities, delivered great training and was a huge amount of fun. ted Learning was born! Standing for training that is engaging and dramatic, we started with one client, a bashed up car and a lot of laughing. Now with a big team behind us, we are even more passionate about delivering dramatically different, engaging and fun experiential training to all our clients and learners.
