About Administrate

Administrate is a training management platform used by hundreds of companies around the world to address the challenges of planning, scheduling, communicating and resolving issues in training for their employees and customers. Our mission is to provide an industry-leading SaaS platform that enables enterprises to run their training function more efficiently and effectively so that they can focus more on the outcome of training, rather than the administration of training.

Our platform has evolved a lot in recent years, taking us up market, squarely into the enterprise tech space supporting some of the top brands in the world. We're delighted with the success we've experienced so far, and we enjoy working together. Our headquarters are in Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city. We also have an office in Bozeman, Montana, and other team members working remotely worldwide.

It's our dream at Administrate to be the Ultimate Human Organization. We might build software, but that's not the only area where we add value to our customers; our people are what make us and our customers successful. We hire great people from various backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because we believe it strengthens our company. If you share our values we'd love to hear from you.
