Before the training starts

See how your team learns before you train them

The Learning Strength Assessment measures how each person takes information in, and reports it to you before the session is built. Trainers walk in already knowing the room — so outcomes stop depending on how well the first hour happens to land.

  • Minutes per participant, completed before the session
  • Grounded in research with Imperial College
  • Consistent across every cohort you run

Cohort snapshot

12 participants

Take it in fastest from worked examples
66%
Need discussion before they commit
42%
Want the written version to revisit
25%

Two thirds of this group need worked examples before discussion. You would not have known that until day one.

Visibility before delivery

Most training personalisation happens too late — after a session has already been designed and delivered one way. The assessment moves that decision earlier, to the point where it still changes something.

See the room before you walk into it.
Every participant completes a short assessment before the session. You start with a picture of how the group takes information in, rather than finding out halfway through day one.
Group-level patterns, not just individuals.
Where a team clusters — and where it splits — tells you how to structure the session, where to slow down, and which parts will need a second route through.
Repeatable across cohorts.
The same preparation layer runs for every group, so the quality of a session depends less on who happens to be delivering it that week.

Common questions

How do I assess learning gaps in my team with AI?
Start before the training, not after it. The Learning Strength Assessment asks each participant to complete a short assessment, then reports how that person takes information in and where a group's needs diverge. That gives you a picture of the room in advance, so the session can be built around it rather than adjusted on the fly.
What is a Learning Strength Assessment?
It is a preparation layer that runs before training is delivered. Each participant completes a short assessment, and the result describes their measured delivery preferences — how information is best presented to them. It is not a personality test and it is not a learning-styles questionnaire; it measures delivery preference, and it is used to shape how content is presented rather than to label the learner.
How long does the assessment take to complete?
A few minutes per participant, completed online before the session. Results are available to the trainer as soon as participants have finished.
Is this the same thing as learning styles?
No. Learning-styles theory claims people have a fixed sensory channel they must be taught through, and the evidence does not support it. The Learning Strength Assessment measures something narrower and testable: how a given person prefers information to be delivered, at the point of delivery. It informs how material is presented, not what a learner is capable of.
What evidence sits behind it?
The approach is grounded in research conducted with Imperial College, alongside deployments across several countries, sectors and age groups. Contact the team for the current evidence pack.
Who is it for?
Training companies and in-house L&D teams who need outcomes to be consistent across cohorts, and leadership teams who want a shared picture of how their people take information in before a programme starts.
