The platform is very easy to navigate. It’s a lot more bespoke than anything I’ve used before, which is helpful.

One of the things we love about The National College is that it’s not just for our teachers. It’s for all staff. Our governors, teaching assistants and the whole school workforce can search the platform and that’s what drew us to The National College.

It's one platform, where I could allocate CPD to every stakeholder within my organisation. Also, the fact that you have this constant update of new CPD, on a monthly basis. It ensures that we are up to date with the most current research and knowledge. All of the bespoke training is fantastic.
