Evidence Informed

All our courses are based on peer-reviewed research.

Practical and inspiring

We bridge the gap between evidence and practice.

Versatile environments

We offer a choice between on-demand and live courses.

The course Chris delivered, Curriculum Design & Implementation, was very informative. Staff were inspired to go away and make the adjustments needed to improve our practice. It was really useful to get a clear definition of the types of knowledge and how that works with implementation. I would highly recommend to others and would rate our booking as 10/10.
