Building out a team, that was responsible for content build, product/LMS Management (they use a rebranded version of Docebo as their LMS backbone), integrations, customer/account management, partnerships, Allara Global rapidly grew by in excess of 700% and also saw the acquisition of, and subsequent revamp and migration of the Jerry product, which was acquired from Proof & Company.In 2021, Allara Global was launched off the back of the rapid growth of Allara Learning’s online training division. Founded in 2009, Allara Learning started after identifying a gap in the market for a robust, reliable, end to-end training provider for customers. Since then, due largely to the lucrative government subsidies on offer at the time, which Allara Learning was able to leverage, they grew to become a leading national vocational education provider offering a range of industry-leading learning solutions, delivering nationally recognised qualifications, short courses, community programs and bespoke fee-for-service training.
