Australian education marketing company Candlefox has launched Allcourses.ie, a digital comparison platform for people seeking online and in-person learning courses.
Candlefox is based in Melbourne and connects educational institutions and training providers with individuals and workforce teams who are looking to find upskilling courses and professional qualifications.
Established in 2011, Candlefox operates four brands in Australia, and one each in New Zealand, the UK, and in Ireland.
Prospective learners are able to browse a variety of courses that can be filtered by subject, cost of enrollment, course length, and whether a course can be studied in-person, online, or via hybrid learning.
Once a learner finds a suitable course, they can fill out an inquiry form which is passed to the respective learning provider, who then makes contact with the person to arrange their enrollment.
Users of the website also have access to content that focuses on career development, upskilling, and the latest news from the world of adult education.
Sarah-Jane McQueen, global corporate general manager of Candlefox, commented: “We’ve had a lot of productive conversations with learning providers from across Ireland who are interested in joining our network, and a number of our existing partners in the UK are keen to extend their offerings towards an Irish audience.
“Our market research left no doubt that there’s a great appetite for learning for professionals across Ireland, and we’re looking forward to helping them fulfil their career aspirations in the near future.”
Megan McNeill, content marketing manager at ICS Learn in the UK, stated: “As one of Candlefox’s first clients, we have found them to be an invaluable resource throughout our longstanding relationship. Our experience has been nothing short of positive, and we’re excited to be part of their expansion in Ireland.”
