Your challenges, solved.
85% of teachers report workload barriers to CPD*
Workload pressures are the most common barrier to CPD for teachers. Balancing teaching with challenges, like supporting mental health and behavioural issues, makes finding time for professional development difficult.
73% of teachers report cost is a barrier to CPD*
Traditional face-to-face training is costly, with expenses for trainers, travel, venues, and teacher cover. Multiple events and providers add to time and costs, often limiting training opportunities for non-teaching staff too.
51% of teachers report lack of choice in CPD*
Schools relying on physical training may struggle to fund long-term priorities, focusing instead on immediate needs like safeguarding or attendance. Teachers have training imposed on them, limiting choice in the topics covered.

Loved by schools & educators.
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.
