It is an online platform which enables schools to develop the careers of all their staff in the most efficient and cost-effective way.
Anyone working within education who wishes to improve the student experience with better teaching practice.
Whether someone is new to teaching, looking to learn about new roles or is seeking to develop their staff, our platform is designed to support the development of all staff within an education setting.
The platform flips the current education model on its head. We are able to offer training material for all staff; including teaching assistants, teachers, middle, senior leaders as well as Governors. Schools/trusts have the ability to control all their training in one centralised platform. Further to this staff can access accredited teacher training and if required complete accredited qualifications without fixed enrollments in traditional colleges or universities.
The platform allows all staff access to standardised CPD training on any device. With reducing budgets for training seen in schools/trusts not all staff are able to attend training. Our platform solves this problem and provides 24/7 access to the world’s best career resources for all levels of staff.
All content is written by notable experts within their field who are either still working as senior leaders within schools or consult and work across a number of schools supporting within their chosen specialism. All courses are reviewed multiple times prior to launch and are checked at set points to ensure all information provided is current.
The platform was created by Leon Hady, a former Headteacher of a school which achieved the UK government’s ‘Outstanding’ mark twice. Leon has ensured that all staff directly involved in course content and design are experienced educators who held senior positions within schools.
We always ensures that the content it creates is designed to support the needs of its users wherever they are. We have our own production house which is able to produce bespoke content based on specific requests within an effective period of time.
Access to course materials is via mobile, laptop, desktop or tablet devices at any time, in any location.
The platform allows for mentors, tutors and instructors to remotely develop their users. In addition to commenting on uploaded responses and documents, a course leader can upload ‘real-time’ feedback (also known as asynchronous coaching) within an uploaded video which allows for developmental comments to be included at the exact moments required. This can then be reviewed by the user and reflected upon with a course leader
Yes. Undertaking the AET, DET and QTLS courses (please note the QTLS is only for teachers following the UK curriculum in KS4/KS5 elements of schools) paraty with QTS can be achieved as QTLS.

In order to become a teacher you are required to have teaching experience. If you hold a degree, you can undertake our two year teacher training programme which takes staff from TA through to qualified teacher. For more information about the course structure, contact a member of the support team.
When undertaking any accredited course users are assigned a mentor. Mentors are highly experienced educators who work alongside the candidate, the candidate’s senior leadership team and the awarding body to ensure that the candidate completes the course on time and to the highest possible standard whilst alleviating senior leaders of much of the duties traditionally associated with mentoring.
Whilst we have created the course content and the structure of courses undertaken, all accredited courses follow UK government legislation and strict guidelines. We also collaborate with universities in the UK, dependant on the course you wish to become a teacher int to ensure candidates have access to the best training possible wherever they may be.
Anyone undertaking a course which is accompanied by a mentor will receive feedback in a variety of ways across the platform. This includes written feedback on the workbook. Video feedback and even audio feedback.
If reviewing lesson observation uploads, mentors are able to upload ‘real-time’ comments along the video to help pin-point areas of strength and development.
Typically, a school will have links to neighbouring establishments which will be happy to support. If a placement becomes difficult to arrange, we will seek to support this as best they can.
