Avado joins Knovia Group
October 2026

Blenheim Chalcot today announces that Avado has joined Knovia Group, a growing group of specialist learning businesses including Paragon Skills, Tempdent, Shaping Lives and Babington.

Blenheim Chalcot acquired the business in 2011 and, under BC’s ownership, it developed into a leading online learning provider. Avado became a CIPD-approved qualifications provider in 2013 and has continued to strengthen its position in professional learning, becoming the first large provider to achieve Platinum CIPD status. Today, Avado delivers high-quality, flexible digital learning and has supported more than 60,000 learners worldwide.

The combination with Knovia brings together Avado’s expertise in professional qualifications and digital learning with Knovia’s scale, employer relationships and apprenticeship capability. Together, the businesses will be able to support learners throughout their careers and give employers a broader range of ways to develop their workforce.

We are proud to have supported Avado throughout its development and would like to thank the leadership team, employees, learners, clients, and partners who have contributed to the business’s success.

We look forward to seeing Avado continue its next chapter as part of Knovia Group.
