Learnlight, the global provider of language, intercultural and soft skills training, has acquired Georgal, a leading Mexican language training company.
This growth investment, backed by Beech Tree Private Equity and Learnlight’s management team, continues the company’s series of acquisitions in several key markets including the UK, France and Germany as part of its global strategic expansion.

We are now more ready than ever to help companies in Mexico and LATAM with their training needs, no matter where they are on their digital transformation journey.

We see this acquisition as a great opportunity to grow in Latin America by combining our teams and expertise to become the market leader in high quality corporate language training solutions.
