Continua Learning Group brings together First Intuition, Decoded and SkillsLab under a single group to develop professionals across a whole career.

The group launch follows the acquisition of Decoded by FI Group Holdings Ltd, the parent company of First Intuition. 

It comes against a backdrop of rapid technological change, accelerating AI adoption, economic uncertainty and shifting workforce expectations, where skills that organisations need from their people are changing faster than traditional professional development has kept pace with.

Under the group, First Intuition will provide training for professional accountancy and finance, Decoded for data and AI capability, and SkillsLab for professional and human skills.

First Intuition, SkillsLab and Decoded will continue to operate under their own brands, with the specialised teams and personal client relationships that businesses value from working with First Intuition. 

Martin Taylor, group chief executive officer, said: “Our ambition is to create the go-to professional development group for the multi-dimensional employee.”

“The launch represents an exciting development for First Intuition, its learners and employer partners, opening broader conversations about how organisations attract, develop and retain the workforce they need for the future.”
