VectorLearning Acquires Web-based Training Services Provider TargetSolutions
With the acquisition of TargetSolutions, VectorLearning will enhance its multi-vertical learning platform and further expand its course offerings for public safety professionals and emergency responders.
Tampa – VectorLearning, a leader in online education and training for a broad range of
industries through its RedVector, CiNet, and CiNet-RedVector brands, recently acquired San
Diego, CA-based TargetSolutions, a pioneer in web-based training, learning and records
management software for fire departments and EMS providers. The acquisition will uniquely
impact VectorLearning’s CiNet brand, which currently provides online training for public safety
organizations with a focus on firefighters, security professionals, law enforcement officers and
emergency responders.
“The opportunity to combine TargetSolutions with our CiNet public safety business puts us in a
unique position to lead and rapidly grow our public safety training course library for fire, EMS,
law enforcement and private security organizations,” said Tom Wallace, CEO of VectorLearning.
“The mission of supporting and helping our first responders—the real heroes in our society—is
one we take very seriously, and we are dedicated to continually investing in our online course
library as well as our learning and records management software to provide our customers with
an exceptional product and unparalleled support.”
With the acquisition of TargetSolutions, VectorLearning will significantly expand its existing
public safety course library—making it by far the largest of its kind in the industry. In addition,
VectorLearning will take advantage of the opportunity to provide even more best-in-class
products and services to its customers. Since 1999, TargetSolutions has delivered powerful and
intuitive training solutions proven to reduce injuries and improve ROI.
“TargetSolutions is always looking to improve technology for our clients, and part of that
involves evaluating beneficial business partnerships and acquisitions,” said Thom Woodward,
EVP of Sales and Marketing for TargetSolutions. “VectorLearning stood out as a viable partner
because its products, services and technology were in sync with our own commitment to
innovation and excellence in online education and training. Our decision to merge with
Vector Learning is one that will help us continue to improve technology and services, broaden
our reach with new resources, and introduce new and better ways for our clients to constantly
do more.”
Together, VectorLearning and TargetSolutions will offer a robust online continuing education
and corporate training solution to more than 1,800 companies in a broad range of industries—
with a combined course library of more than 3,500 course titles and a state-of-the-art eLearning
