Controller- Our Mission: To Save Lives
- Our Vision: Rethink the Ordinary
We believe in thinking differently. We believe in challenging the status quo. We had an idea 25 years ago that changed the training industry forever. The notion was simple: the more you enjoy learning, the more you'll remember. Our training programs were created in partnership with the World-Famous Improv Comedy Club to make training Fun, Fast, and Effective. Since our unique edutainment courses have won copious accolades from Over 4 million students and a number of effectiveness studies later, we're proud to say that we were right, we do SAVE LIVES!
We save lives through innovative safety training and education. We work with large employers, government agencies, and individuals to deliver unique e-learning programs.
We are proud of our accomplishments as a
5 times winner of INC 5000 including 2020, one of the fastest-growing companies in the US; Top 100 fastest growing in LA County, and we are just getting started.
