Our Story
Online Learning for Real-World Success
Our Founders
Founded in 2013 and formerly known as Proversity, Construct Education is on a mission to transform learning. With a vision to bridge the gap between education and employment, our founders, Krishan and Carl, asked a fundamental question:
“How can we transform learning and training programs into more meaningful experiences that ultimately translate into accessible and necessary skills for use in the real world?”
With unwavering dedication, Krishan and Carl left their day jobs to answer this question.
The Early Years
From dojo to Google Campus
Reminiscent of the romanticized vision of a startup, our beginnings started with picking up refurbished laptops and scrambling to pay rent in our first office in a Dojo. However, to the world, we always showed up professionally, and authentic, exceeding expectations as we quickly progressed to harnessing our own spot at the Google Startups Campus in London.
At the time, our small dedicated team started developing custom learning platforms, particularly using edX, the open-source technology created by Harvard and MIT.
Growing Globally
Soon enough, with a rapidly growing base, the time was right to scale the team. Learning experience designers, content production experts, software developers, and project managers were required to support the growth on both sides of the Atlantic.
The company had become larger and more complex and a new CEO from Merrill Lynch was recruited to join our team. We continued to grow the business in the Middle East and rapidly expanded our Learning Lab in Cape Town, securing strategic partnerships with two of the largest education technology companies in the world, Pearson, and Instructure.
Award-Winning
In 2020 Construct was included in a list of the top 50 fastest-growing technology companies in the UK. The “UK Technology Fast 50“, compiled by Deloitte, ranks firms based on their revenue growth over the last four years. The company placed 20th in its debut appearance on the list.
Better Together
Construct Education announced its acquisition by OES, a leading online education enabler. This milestone, achieved on January 31, 2023, solidifies the partnership between two world-class digital learning companies that share our commitment to academic-led, learner-centric education. Our journey with OES began in November 2020 when they acquired a majority stake in Construct. This strategic move empowers us to provide our clients and partners with enriched expertise, deeper analytics, increased flexibility, and global client support. Together, we will continue to deliver impactful educational solutions at scale, bridging the gap between learning and real-world success.

Our Journey Forward
We have built out our capacity through expansion into four continents – including locations in the United Kingdom, United States, and South Africa. We are truly global and with our diverse range of employee backgrounds and experience, our core delivery capabilities continue to broaden.
