About Us
Since 1984, The Achievement Centre has been helping businesses succeed by focusing on their most valuable resource — their people. Our professional development programs change behaviour through paced learning, guiding participants to discover their untapped potential.
We help our clients achieve and exceed their business goals with our proven diagnostic tools and methods. Working with the business owner, we focus on three key areas of planning: strategic, operational, and transition. We then work with the business leaders to help maintain that focus.
Armed with a plan, and a well prepared leader, TAC then supports the organization further by providing services in areas such as leadership development, sales training, hiring tools, and employee engagement.
Our Mission
Using discovery tools and paced learning programs, we partner with our clients to help them achieve their goals by bridging the gap between knowing what to do and doing it.
Our Vision
We are a leader in our industry helping organizations and people achieve measurable success.
Our Values
We believe in the importance of personal and organizational growth through an investment in knowledge. We promote the health of the business and the people within it by encouraging balance in both life and business.

Words From Our Clients
We are in the behaviour change business. Clients often share their feedback on ways that their commitment to our programs has helped them.
Through my participation in this program, I now benefit from one-on-one meetings and improved communication of departmental activities to the management group.
Scott Baird, Starlim North America Corporation
Results-Centred Leadership Participant
One of my Senior Managers and myself took the RADAR course from TAC. We were pleasantly surprised with the material and how we could apply it with our employees and customers. Two of our favorite topics were the SMART goals and the different personality styles. It was not only helpful but a lot of fun going through the personality evaluation on ourselves and other employees. This will be a big asset in growing our business.
