Instructor-led training has never been benchmarked.
Until now.
Until now.
Be part of the 2026 State of ILT Survey.
Why this report exists
The ILT market has no dedicated benchmarking data. Pricing, delivery formats, technology adoption, commercial confidence. Training providers have been making decisions without a clear picture of what the rest of the industry is doing. The State of Instructor-Led Training report is here to change that.
Produced by Arlo and The Training Marketplace, with expert analysis from our advisory panel and buyer behaviour data drawn directly from The Training Marketplace platform, this will be the most comprehensive look at the ILT industry ever published.
