Built for Real-World Learning
We believe good learning should do more than look polished or check a box.
It should help people perform.
That means understanding the audience, the business need, the environment, the constraints, and what success actually looks like.
Sometimes the right answer is a formal learning program.
Sometimes it is a short course.
Sometimes it is a job aid, a better process, a clearer message, or a different delivery model entirely.
The goal is to build the right solution, not more training.
A Flexible Model by Design
Strategic guidance when you need experienced perspective.
Development support when your team needs additional capacity.
Program leadership when an initiative needs structure and momentum.
Specialized expertise when a challenge falls outside your internal team’s experience.
Execution support when you simply need someone who can step in and get the work done.
The engagement should be as large or as small as the problem requires.
Built on Trust
The Training Guys™ was founded in 2001 by Colin Tepfer, who has led the company and shaped its work for more than 25 years. A senior learning and education executive, Colin’s career spans corporate learning, customer and partner education, learning technology, instructional design, program leadership, and the development of large-scale education organizations and academies.
He has led initiatives ranging from entrepreneurial businesses to global technology enterprises, building programs for employees, customers, partners, and other complex audiences. His experience includes transforming education functions, leading multidisciplinary teams, designing enterprise learning strategies, launching academies and enablement programs, implementing learning technologies, and taking major initiatives from concept through worldwide execution.
That breadth gives Colin a practical perspective on learning challenges: he understands both the strategic decisions made in the executive conference room and the realities of designing, building, launching, and managing the solution. Through The Training Guys, he brings that experience to organizations needing anything from outside perspective and hands-on project support to leadership for larger-scale initiatives.
Understand the business problem. Understand the learner. Build what actually helps both succeed.

The industry has changed dramatically since The Training Guys first launched.
Classrooms became virtual.
Courses became digital.
Learning platforms became ecosystems.
AI is changing how content is created, delivered, and personalized.
But the core challenge remains familiar:
Organizations still need to help people learn, adapt, and perform.
That is the work. And it is still what The Training Guys does.
