 Simplilearnthe world’s #1 online bootcamp for digital skills training, today announced the successful enrolment of more than 5 million learners across the platform.

This number has grown many fold over the last 15 months, adding over 2 million learners, to cross the 5 million count today.

Simplilearn’s effective marketing efforts like the #JobGuarantee campaign as well as the previous Ambition #CannotBeLockedDown campaign have contributed effectively to the positive growth of the learner base.

This included learner programs in Software Development, Data Science and Business Analytics, DevOps, AI & ML, and Cyber Security. Other popular programs include those in Business and Leadership, and Project Management.

Mr. Krishna Kumar, Founder, and CEO, of Simplilearn said, Upskilling remains one of the key factors boosting career growth for professionals. Despite the reopening of offline institutions, online learning continues to gain popularity among students and professionals alike, especially given its location-agnostic nature and flexibility for employees. As we surpass the 5 million learner milestone just over a year after crossing the 3 million mark, we are hopeful to increase our impact in bridging the global skills gap. Additionally, 35% of our learners per month are repeat learners or have come through referrals, standing as a testament that learners do see value in online upskilling.
