BlueSky Learning has now been retired.

BlueSky Education is now part of The National College and is known as the People Development membership. As a result, we have integrated the two platforms and taken the decision to retire BlueSky Learning.  
 
All BlueSky Learning members can now access the world’s largest CPD library through a Professional Development membership with The National College.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about your access to The National College.

Why has BlueSky Learning been retired?

In June 2024 BlueSky Education became part of The National College, aiming to seamlessly integrate the world’s largest professional development library with our market-leading people development solutions. Given the breadth of CPD available to you through The National College, we made the decision to retire BlueSky Learning.

Will I still be able to access my CPD records on The National College Platform?

All records of BlueSky Learning CPD activity will be retained in the People Development (formerly BlueSky Education) platform so you can still access these.  

Schools that do not have our People Development membership have been contacted separately to ensure CPD records are retained.

.

Can someone help me navigate The National College site?

Absolutely! Our customer success team are on hand to offer support if you want it. 

Will my membership stay the same?

All BlueSky Learning member schools have been offered Professional Development membership from The National College. This membership provides you with access to over 5000 courses, webinars, podcasts and guides, covering topics from safeguarding to curriculum mastery to SEND and AI. This is a significantly wider range of CPD than was previously available through BlueSky Learning.  

How do I log in to The National College platform?

If you have a People Development membership (formerly BlueSky Education) you will be able to log in via your existing ‘BlueSky’ login and will see that you can access The National College CPD from within the platform, in the same way you previously could access BlueSky Learning.

Will this cost our school extra?

We offer a significant discount when you purchase additional memberships, so speak to your account manager about your options.

There’s such a broad array of training opportunities, that we don’t need to go hunting for training externally. The content is really current and the feedback I get from staff is that it offers value to them. The whole package just works on every level for us.

The National College provides a great way of tracking CPD and evidencing what has been completed on the platform. It reduces workload, and we have that data at our fingertips to show which staff have accessed the training.

With The National College, we can quickly assign role-specific CPD to 300 members of staff. It’s fantastic. It's very valuable to have that ease of access.
