Training is complete only when people are ready to perform

FOCUS Learning builds the software that regulated industries run their training and qualification programs on. Two platforms, VISION and Qlarity, backed by a professional services team that makes a program work rather than just a license.

Four decades inside regulated training

1985

the year our history in regulated workforce training starts

175+

organizations across energy, utilities, nuclear, aviation and government

2

software platforms, VISION and Qlarity, both built on the same method

7

people on the executive team, each accountable for a defined part of the business

A line of workers and engineers in hard hats on a plant floor

Every one of these roles has a qualification requirement behind it

And somebody has to be able to prove it was met, months later, to someone who was not there.

Why FOCUS exists

Empowering the world through workforce performance

OUR MISSION

We equip the people who run safety-critical operations with training and performance systems that make competence measurable, repeatable and audit-ready, so every shift starts with a workforce that is ready.

OUR VISION

A world where no one is ever underprepared for a moment that matters. Where learning keeps pace with the systems people operate, and workforce performance is a source of confidence rather than risk.

OUR VALUES

Own it
Embrace curiosity
View obstacles as opportunities
Steward the future

From software-forward to a software and services platform

FOCUS Learning evolved from a software-forward business into a software and services platform that empowers the world through workforce performance. VISION has been sold as a product since the 1990s. The services exist because a platform on its own does not fix a training program.

  1. 1 1985

    Founded in San Luis Obispo

    Gary Sprague, a former Diablo Canyon Power Plant consultant, starts the company in response to the regulation that followed Three Mile Island. The founding premise has not changed since: in high-consequence work, training failures have irreversible consequences.

  2. 2 1990s

    VISION is built and sold as software

    Not a service dressed as a product. VISION launches commercially for the United States nuclear industry, and the object model underneath it is the same systematic approach to training our software still enforces today.

  3. 3 FEBRUARY 2023

    The first cloud release

    VISION ships as a cloud-based SaaS platform, ending the era of customers running their own instance and falling years behind on versions.

  4. 4 AUGUST 2023

    The Brydon Group acquisition

    Jay Steele joins as CEO and Nate Jones as CTO, with heavy investment into the SaaS conversion. Rebrand and a rebuilt design system follow in 2024.

  5. 5 JANUARY 2024

    Independently examined

    VISION completes a SOC 2 Type I audit. Type II is in progress.

  6. 6 APRIL 2025

    Quality Training Systems acquired

    Qlarity and the electric utility market come with it, taking the platform beyond nuclear into transmission and distribution.

  7. 7 2025 ONWARD

    AI, and the next platform

    MADDIE ships on cloud-hosted VISION, and the long-term product direction converges VISION and Qlarity onto one platform.
