Question ID: 731384
What is the size of the European corporate training market? I would
like the answer broken down into the following categories:

UK
Rest of Europe

What is the size of the UK Sales Training Market as a subset of the
overall corporate training market?

What is the size of the UK Purchasing Training Market as a subset of
the overall corporate training market?

In answering the question above, I would like to have a reference to
where the information was found as I would like to reference this in a
business plan that I am preparing.

<I have completed a thorough search for the information you need. I
can provide figures for the UK and European corporate training market
and the UK sales training market. As regards the UK purchashing
training market, these figures are more elusive as the market is
spread over many industry groups. I have found two reports, one that
provides a percentage of what a number of companies in one industry
group are spending on purchasing training and the other gives a
proportion of what a public sector organisation spends on purchasing
training.

Please let me know if this will suffice as an answer.>
