Accenture has acquired Ascendient Learning, a subsidiary of Axcel Learning, from AlpineX OpCo, LLC, a people-driven private equity firm.

An amalgamation of three companies—Accelebrate, ExitCertified, and Web Age Solutions—Ascendient Learning came together under one brand in 2025 to provide clients with tailored IT and digital skills training solutions, including instructor-led in-person learning, immersive virtual learning, digital certifications, and vendor-authorized IT training, across a course catalog of over 850 offerings.

The acquisition of Ascendient Learning is part of Accenture’s ongoing investment in its learning and development capabilities. In March 2024, the company launched LearnVantage, part of a $1 billion investment to help clients reskill and upskill their workforces to reinvent their organizations and achieve greater business value.

Fasken advised Alpine Investors with a team led by Enoch Chang (M&A), and included Julie He and Carmen Loh (M&A/Corporate), Hardeep Gill (Tax), Roger Kuyper (IP), Ross Gascho (Employee Benefits), and Alex Ognibene (LEHR).
