Learnlight has acquired Lerian-Online, one of Belgium’s leading corporate language training providers, further strengthening our presence and ability to support organizations across the Belgian market.
The acquisition is Learnlight’s second in Belgium, following BLCC joining the group in 2025. It brings together three organizations with a shared commitment to learning quality, strong client relationships, and measurable outcomes for learners and businesses.
A shared commitment to learning quality
For more than 20 years, Lerian-Online has helped many of Belgium’s leading organizations develop the language skills their employees need to communicate effectively at work.
Its strong understanding of the Belgian market, deep sector expertise and reputation for personalized learning have made it one of the country’s most respected corporate language training providers.
These shared values make Lerian-Online a natural fit for Learnlight as we continue to expand our presence and capabilities in Belgium.
Rupert Hillier, Co-Founder and CEO of Learnlight, commented:
“Lerian-Online is a business we have admired for its commitment to learning quality, client service and long-standing reputation in the Belgian market. By bringing together Lerian-Online’s local expertise with Learnlight’s global platform, technology and international reach, we are creating an even stronger partner for organizations. This acquisition supports our ambition to build a leading corporate learning platform in Belgium.”
More opportunities for Lerian-Online clients
For Lerian-Online clients, the acquisition offers continuity alongside access to a wider range of learning solutions.
Organizations will be able to address more of their workforce development needs through one learning partner, from corporate language training to intercultural and interpersonal skills development, both in Belgium and internationally.
Jan Hardeman, CEO of Lerian-Online, said:
“Lerian-Online has always been built on quality, personalized support and long-term client relationships. Joining Learnlight allows us to build on those foundations. Our clients keep the service they know and trust while gaining access to a global platform, AI-enabled innovation and a much broader range of learning solutions. As technology reshapes how people learn, this is the right moment to join forces.”
A stronger learning partner across the Belgian market
Lerian-Online’s expertise and market presence complement those of BLCC, which joined Learnlight in 2025.
Together, the businesses will be able to support organizations across more of Belgium, combining strong local relationships and market knowledge with Learnlight’s international experience and scale.
Kathleen Heireman, Regional Director of Learnlight Belgium, commented:

Our customers gain broader capability without compromising the quality of the service they expect.”
