Get Licensed acquires ECERT Training, expanding its portfolio into the Health and Social Care Industry

The strategic acquisition will help Get Licensed become a leading brand for last-mile training and deployment in multiple sectors.

LONDON, 19th July 2023 – Get Licensed, a leading platform for front-line security training and staffing, has announced its acquisition of ECERT Training Limited, a leading e-learning provider in the health and social care sector. The merger will officially begin in August 2023. This move marks a strategic expansion for Get Licensed into the health and social care sector, as it aims to become the go-to platform for training, licensing, and employment in various fast-training verticals with high churn.

Over the past years, Get Licensed has successfully aided over 300,000 individuals in getting licensed and securing employment in the security sector. ECERT Training, on the other hand, has issued over 500,000 certificates for various health and social care courses in just the last three years. 

“ECERT is a fantastic brand, and with our backing and support, we can take ECERT and make it a global brand,” said Shahzad Ali, Founder and CEO of Get Licensed. 

The similarities in compliance needs across the security and health and social care sectors make this acquisition a perfect match. ECERT’s capabilities in health and social care e-learning will complement Get Licensed’s expertise in security training. This alliance will further enhance Get Licensed’s platform, leveraging its team of over 50 software engineers to improve technology, content, and reach.

“The acquisition by Get Licensed will provide us with the support and technological edge we need to reach more people, improve our services, and expand globally,” said Justin Redrup, Director of ECERT Training. Redrup will remain as Director post-acquisition, working alongside Get Licensed.

The health and social care market is rapidly growing, both in the UK and worldwide, making this acquisition a strategic move to tap into this expanding market. Customers can expect an enriched experience with access to a broader range of services and superior technology.

This acquisition is a significant step towards Get Licensed’s long-term strategy of becoming a singular brand for people aiming to get trained, licensed, and find work in fast-training sectors such as security, health and social care.
