Train Simple is a technology-focused training company that specializes in providing professional development resources for tech professionals, helping them enhance their skills through structured learning paths and comprehensive content. Founded in 2001 in Tolland, US, Train Simple is dedicated to delivering training solutions for tech professionals. In July 2016, the company was acquired by Pluralsight, a move that expanded its reach and resources in the tech skills development sector. The founder's background in technology and training contributed to the company's vision, although specific previous ventures were not documented.

Train Simple operates under Pluralsight's umbrella, which has its headquarters in Draper, Utah. Train Simple offers a variety of professional development resources aimed at empowering tech professionals, including video courses, assessments, and hands-on labs covering software development, IT operations, data science, and cloud computing. These resources are designed for individual learners and organizations, facilitating tailored learning paths that address specific skill gaps and promote career advancement across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Train Simple generates revenue through a subscription-based model targeting individual users and enterprise clients, offering various subscription plans that grant access to training resources.

This model ensures a steady stream of recurring revenue, which is bolstered by their commitment to delivering high-quality content and innovative features that enhance the learning experience. Train Simple's strategy for future growth includes leveraging insights gained from recent acquisitions to enhance its product offerings. The company plans to expand its market presence, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, by 2025, focusing on localized training solutions to meet regional needs. The funding from the acquisition will be utilized to develop new training programs and enhance platform features, aimed at further supporting tech professionals in their skill development journey.
