Founded in 1956, Gulf Agency Company (GAC) has grown to become one of the world’s largest integrated providers of shipping, logistics, and marine-related services.
With a presence in over 50 countries, GAC is committed to delivering excellence across every aspect of its operations.
To support the growth and development of its people, GAC established the GAC Corporate Academy (GCA) in 2007.
The Academy is an ISO-certified learning organisation dedicated to providing competency-based training tailored specifically for GAC employees.
From induction programs for new hires to advanced operations courses, GCA ensures that every team member has access to the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their roles.
For over 15 years, the GAC Corporate Academy has been at the forefront of employee development, delivering learning experiences that empower staff across the GAC network and propel their careers to the next level.
"We have been using mylearningspace as our Learning Management System (LMS) provider for several years, and our experience has been positive. Their user-friendly interface allows both our course facilitators and learners to navigate the platform easily, and the system is well-structured for organising courses and materials. The support from their team is exceptional, as they are always responsive to our inquiries and provide effective assistance with any issues. Overall, we confidently recommend mylearningspace for their quality service and commitment to customer satisfaction.”

Before transitioning from Moodle LMS to Moodle Workplace in 2021, the GAC Corporate Academy had already established a strong and vibrant learning culture. Employees across the organisation were engaged in competency-based training, with a clear focus on building the skills and knowledge needed to perform at their best.
While the original Moodle LMS supported these learning initiatives effectively, the move to Moodle Workplace in 2021 provided an enhanced learning experience. Its more streamlined interface, improved navigation, and tailored features have made it easier for participants to access training, track progress, and engage with learning content, further strengthening GAC’s commitment to professional development.

GAC and the GAC Corporate Academy chose mylearningspace as their implementation partner due to their professional support, responsiveness, and commercially suitable solutions that fit within the Academy’s budget.
The platform enables GAC to connect with over 7000 employees across the world, in shipping, logistics and marine.
Employees can access training and development opportunities wherever they are.
The Academy has successfully delivered widespread learning opportunities to its global workforce.
GAC and the GAC Corporate Academy are continually exploring ways to expand access to learning and support the development of all employees, including those in the field. A key area of focus is creating a mobile learning platform that allows skilled workers to access training online or offline, without the need for a company email ID to register.
This approach addresses emerging needs by ensuring that employees who work remotely or in operational roles can still engage in competency-based learning, develop new skills, and stay connected to the Academy’s training programs, no matter where they are located.
