L&D · Workforce Compliance 4 min read

360training.com, Inc., recognized on Newsweek's America's Top Online Learning Providers list, has announced the acquisition of select assets from the San Antonio-based operators of seven specialized compliance training brands. The acquired portfolio spans mandatory training and certificate programs across healthcare, OSHA and workplace safety, food handling, forklift operations, hazardous materials, defensive driving, and transportation safety.

The deal meaningfully broadens 360training's multi-industry compliance footprint, adding established brands and a diverse learner base to its growing family of training providers across the United States and Canada. The seven brands — American Health Training, National OSHA Foundation, National Food Handlers Foundation, National Forklift Foundation, National HAZWOPER Foundation, Defensive Driving Foundation, and National Health Training — are each purpose-built to serve professionals and employers navigating mandatory federal and state compliance requirements.

"The depth and diversity of this portfolio is what makes this acquisition so strategically compelling. Adding these platforms to our ecosystem strengthens our ability to serve both individual professionals and enterprise employers who need comprehensive, multi-disciplinary compliance solutions in one place."

— Tom Anderson, CEO, 360training

Expanding Across Regulated Industries

With over 4,000 courses already in its catalog, 360training adds 57 unique courses through this acquisition, deepening its breadth across compliance verticals. American Health Training delivers online BLS, ACLS, PALS, CPR, and clinical certification programs, while the National OSHA Foundation provides OSHA 10-Hour and 30-Hour Outreach training with official Department of Labor cards. The National HAZWOPER Foundation addresses federally mandated hazardous materials training under 29 CFR 1910.120, and the Defensive Driving, Forklift, and Food Handlers foundations round out coverage across logistics, hospitality, and workplace safety.

Each brand operates in a regulatory environment defined by recurring renewal cycles, employer documentation mandates, and audit-readiness requirements — characteristics that align closely with 360training's long-standing compliance philosophy and enterprise service model.

"What distinguishes this portfolio is that nearly every program carries a renewal requirement. That structure creates ongoing relationships with learners and employers, not one-time transactions."

— Samantha Montalbano, COO, 360training

Enhancing the Customer Experience

With the seven new brands, employers and individual learners gain access to a broader range of accredited programs, all supported by 360training's scalable learning platform, centralized compliance reporting tools, and enterprise-grade administrative infrastructure. The company frames the move as a way to support customers ranging from a solo food handler to an HR director managing thousands of employees, delivering enhanced digital experiences, improved learner tracking, and a wider catalog of compliance solutions.

Established in 1997, 360training has issued more than 21 million training certificates to over 12.5 million learners across 17-plus brands. A portfolio company of GreyLion and Vestar Capital Partners, it continues to pursue acquisitions that build synergies and enhance value for its customers across regulated industries.
