Cary-based Relias Learning, acquired by Bertelsmann for $540 million last year, is itself acquiring RediLearning, which sells online courses to the senior care industry. Relias sells online training and compliance solutions to the healthcare market. The acquisition adds more than 400 senior care courses to its training library.
The acquisition of RediLearning is another step towards our goal of being the premier provider of online training across the healthcare continuum of care. As healthcare continues to evolve, Relias is providing training that educates staff to deliver the highest quality of care in the most efficient manner,” says Jim Triandiflou, CEO of Relias Learning in a statement.
“RediLearning’s success with large senior care providers, based on deep industry knowledge and outstanding customer experience, is a perfect complement to Relias. Together we can lift the level of care provided by our clients to new heights.”
RediLearning was founded in 2006 to empower senior care providers to engage their teams, grow returns, and ensure compliance.
The acquisition follows Relias’ recent release of three innovative product capabilities: a mobile series of wellness training, simulated learning, and gaming elements to increase learner engagement
Relias Learning has shown exceptional growth since its inception in 2012 and has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
