Award-winning digital learning brand, Wavelength Learning, and Aspire Development, an expert leadership and management skills company, have joined forces as Cognition Evolve. This partnership marks a significant milestone in the learning solutions industry, combining decades of expertise in the creation of world-class learning solutions, professional training, industry-standard qualifications and publishing.
Cognition Evolve is dedicated to revolutionising learning experiences for organisations and individuals. The new entity merges Wavelength Learning’s expertise in designing bespoke digital learning, with Aspire Development’s renowned leadership and management training and apprenticeship programmes to offer a truly comprehensive approach to workforce development.
“By uniting as Cognition Evolve, we are not just combining two companies; we are enhancing our ability to deliver exceptional learning solutions tailored to our clients’ needs” said Tina Lucas, CEO of parent company Cognition Learning Group. “At the heart of our mission is a commitment to lifelong learning and continuous growth—empowering individuals and organisations to learn, grow, and evolve every step of the way.”
Reimagining Learning
The Cognition Evolve journey began with the acquisition and merger of two well-established companies:
- Wavelength Learning was founded in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1998 and acquired by Cognition Learning Group in 2015. Expanding into Australia in 2019, Wavelength later established offices in the Solomon Islands, Malaysia, and the UK. As an award-winning digital learning company, Wavelength combines expertise in adult learning, design, and technology to create bespoke, human-centred digital content, blended learning experiences, and publications for clients worldwide.
- Aspire Development, founded in the UK in 2005 and acquired by Cognition Learning Group in 2022, specialises in Leadership & Management training, qualifications, and apprenticeships. For more than fifteen years, Aspire Development has enhanced the capability and confidence of leaders and organisations across the UK.
In April 2025, Cognition Evolve was born, merging these two innovative brands to offer a seamless, tailored learning experience for customers globally.
