The Challenge

Carbon Arc Training Consultancy delivers specialist welding engineering training for the defence and nuclear industries. As demand for their courses grew, the business faced a major limitation — their training delivery relied heavily on lecturers. This meant the company couldn’t upskill people fast enough to meet demand, which was holding back growth and keeping the business smaller than it could be.

They also needed a system that could manage compliance and training requirements for both their internal team and their global clients. Tracking competencies, course progress, and training expiry dates across multiple organisations was becoming difficult and time-consuming.

Carbon Arc needed a platform that would allow them to manage training, compliance, and course delivery in one place — and remove the dependency on lecturers delivering every course in person.

The Solution

Workprove provided Carbon Arc with a platform where they could build both custom courses and standard catalogue training that could be delivered online anywhere in the world. This meant training was no longer limited by lecturer availability or location.

They were able to map out full learning journeys — from pre-course assessments through to career pathway development — allowing training to be tailored to each individual rather than delivered as a static course.

Workprove also enabled Carbon Arc to build competency matrices, role-based training programmes, toolbox talks, and compliance tracking for their clients. With automated tracking of training requirements and expiry dates, they could ensure clients remained compliant and up to date at all times.

By moving training content online, courses could be created once and delivered repeatedly without requiring a lecturer every time.

The Outcome

With Workprove, Carbon Arc transformed how they delivered training and scaled their business significantly. Training was no longer restricted by lecturer availability, and courses could be accessed by students anywhere, at any time.

This allowed Carbon Arc to scale their training delivery more than tenfold and effectively operate as a 24-hour training business serving clients globally.

Workprove not only helped Carbon Arc manage their own internal training and compliance, but also enabled them to expand their client offering, grow their customer base, and scale their business in a way that would not have been possible with traditional training delivery.
