Always improving

We are building interactive skills and behaviours for our Accountancy and Tax apprenticeships, a series designed around characters and how they apply different scenarios in practice to help apprentices fully contextualise their learning and reflect on their own work.

Adapting to change

We constantly review, evaluate, and validate our approach to learning. We redevelop and move forward, evolving our training and teaching methods as technologies and learning changes. We work with students, organisations, tutors, and experts to make sure we’re always delivering the best possible training for learners and employers. We have dedicated in-house expert teams which drive forward our changes.

  • Learning Design and Development - bring best practice in online learning and the latest teaching methods, learning technologies and creative design to our programmes.
  • User Experience (UX) research team - lead research and focus groups so that the learner voice is always incorporated into our programme design.
  • Learning behaviours team - measure the impact of small changes we make on learning behaviour using nudge theory. This results in continuous micro improvements to give learners the best environment for success.
  • Learning measurement team - as an evidence-based educator we use learning data to drive improvements in our programme design and the guidance we give to our learners.

We also ensure that we meet the requirements of the institutes and awarding bodies where relevant. And we make sure we’re continually building a pipeline of talent and individuals who have relevant skills and industry context to deliver positive transformation.
