## 360training Acquires Atlantic Training, Deepening Its Workplace Compliance Portfolio Austin-based online training company 360training has acquired Atlantic Training, expanding its footprint in OSHA, workplace-safety, HR-compliance, and soft-skills instruction. The deal was announced via PR Newswire; financial terms were not disclosed.

### What Atlantic Training Brings Founded in 2005, Atlantic Training reportedly operates a catalog of 305 courses spanning federally mandated safety training, HR compliance topics, and professional soft-skills development. Beyond courseware, the acquisition adds WAVE — an EHS (environmental, health, and safety) management software platform — giving 360training a technology asset that extends beyond content delivery. Atlantic Training claims to have served more than 10,000 clients and facilitated the completion of over 5 million courses.

### Strategic Context for 360training 360training is private-equity backed, with GreyLion and Vestar Capital Partners among its investors. The company already operates more than 17 brands and says it has issued upwards of 21 million training certificates to date. This acquisition continues an apparent roll-up strategy in the compliance and regulated-industry training segment.

For HR leaders, the combination is notable: OSHA and workplace-safety mandates are perennial compliance obligations, and bundling those courses with HR-compliance and soft-skills content under one vendor could simplify procurement for organizations managing multiple training relationships. The addition of WAVE EHS software further signals 360training's ambition to move up the value chain from content provider to platform.

### What Remains Unknown The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, making it difficult to gauge strategic premium or market valuation benchmarks. All client and course-delivery figures cited are self-reported by the companies through their press materials and should be treated accordingly.

### Takeaway for HR Tech Buyers As workforce compliance demands intensify — driven by evolving OSHA rulemaking, growing state-level HR-compliance requirements, and rising interest in EHS software integration — consolidation among training providers is likely to continue. 360training's expanding multi-brand portfolio positions it as a vendor to watch for organizations seeking a single-source compliance training partner.

Compliance training is a non-negotiable layer of HR operations, and M&A activity in this segment reshapes the vendor landscape HR leaders navigate. By pairing a large OSHA and safety-course library with EHS management software, 360training is evolving from a content catalog into a broader compliance platform — the kind of consolidation that can simplify vendor footprints for HR and EHS teams, but also reduce competitive choice over time.
