Our vision is to deliver impact-driven learning technology and unleash the power of knowledge. To achieve this we create innovative and affordable learning technology for all organizations, developed with our clients in mind; while providing access to free training through charitable partnerships.

A Story That's Far From Ordinary

Intellek is a founding member of the learning technology industry, with a presence in both the USA and the UK. For over 30 years we have pioneered the development of cutting-edge learning technology, with a large and diverse portfolio of international clients.

In 2010 Claire Revell, who joined the business in 2003 as a developer, worked remotely for the business while she lived in South Africa pursuing her other passion – philanthropy.

It was at that time Claire knew she wanted to be at the helm of Intellek, for three reasons:

Strive for female representation in STEM and leadership roles.
Leverage technology to solve real-world problems.
Pave the way for a real change in technology to strengthen skills, and maintain a culture of continued learning, while empowering people to excel in every educational institution and business worldwide.

In 2017 the board of directors bought into a bigger, bolder, braver vision for the business and Claire was appointed Director & Chief Executive Officer.

Claire believes that learning should be considered a tool for eradicating poverty and an opportunity to ignite a revolution for future progress.

A Brand That's Far From Ordinary

Intellek means ‘intellect’ in Afrikaans, creating an important link to Claire’s altruistic involvement in South Africa.

The Gazelle is a genus of the Antelope group, with only one species occurring in South Africa – the Springbok. Alongside being recognized as the national animal of SA (where the dream of Intellek was first realized), our female Springbok logo depicts strength, agility and intelligence, it is a powerful symbol of women rising above adversity.

This amplifies that we are proud to be a female-led company, that stands in the gap for women in business, continually fighting for fair and equal representation in STEM and leadership roles.

In a business sense, the Gazelle is a company (often found in the tech space) that shows high growth and increased revenue. Gazelle companies are also known for job creation and are credited for being among the best sources of new employment in open, entrepreneurial economies.

Intellek is most definitely a Gazelle!

A Team That's Far From Ordinary

Charity Founded From a Story That's Far From Ordinary

Opening Doors, previously a charitable initiative, is now an officially registered South African NPO since our CEO, Claire Revell, relocated with her family to South Africa in September 2024.

Since 2008 Intellek’s Claire has visited Inchanga, Kwazulu Natal (South Africa) every other year to volunteer. She has always taken as much additional luggage as possible, (8 suitcases last time!) so that she can donate clothes, shoes, and books for those in the community. She also installed Intellek’s office-based eLearning into several schools in the surrounding areas, to enhance their training curriculum. In January 2024, Claire and some of the Intellek team travelled to South Africa to volunteer and build a classroom, to celebrate her 20 years in business. You can read more in a recent blog.

While Claire still remains our CEO, she is now living in South Africa where she can make more of a difference, with boots on the ground!

Opening Doors was founded to address the pressing need for a community outreach program to support educational and employment needs, and the vital need for a children’s home and safe house near the Inchanga and Hammersdale communities, on the outskirts of Durban, in South Africa. The organization’s initiative is aptly named as it aims to be the gateway to safety, education, employment, and new opportunities.

Intellek is proud to provide a percentage of our revenue to help children gain access to education, and to continue providing other NPOs and organizations free access to our Skills Development Program to those aged 16 and above.

Collaborating For Our Clients... And That's Far From Ordinary

Intellek partners with a diverse range of content providers to ensure our clients have access to a course library of soft skills, business knowledge and security awareness training modules that is right for them.

Intellek also partners with multiple third-party vendors to ensure that our content design team has early access to their products, allowing our clients to receive new eLearning modules before anyone else.
