Software for Schools and Training Providers
Parent communication, online courses and certificates, built to be easy for staff, learners and parents to use.
Simple software for schools and training
Schools and training providers often pay for systems that do far more than they need, or rely on paper notes, text messages and spreadsheets that take up staff time. The people using them, whether parents, learners or teachers, need something that just works.
We build focused apps and platforms that do the job they're needed for and are easy for everyone to pick up.
Education and training software we've built
For a primary school, we built a communications app for parents. Notices, reminders and messages go straight to parents' phones, which cut the school's spending on text messages and the number of paper notes sent home in school bags.
For Food Safety Management Solutions, a food safety training company, we built an online learning platform. Learners log in without a password, work through video modules and quizzes, and pick up where they left off. When they finish, a certificate is emailed to them and to their employer, and the admin dashboard shows everyone's progress.
The Instaspace app runs safety quizzes and Toolbox Talks for subcontractors and records who has completed them, a simple form of workplace training.

Do you build apps for schools?
Yes. We built a communications app for a primary school that sends notices and reminders to parents' phones, which cut the school's text message costs and the number of paper notes going home.
Can a school app replace text messages to parents?
Yes. Messages sent through an app don't carry a charge per message the way texts do, and parents can look back at older notices whenever they need to.
Do you build online learning platforms?
Yes. We built the online learning platform for <a href="/case-studies/custom-online-learning-video-platform-for-food-safety-management-solutions/">Food Safety Management Solutions</a>, with video modules, quizzes, progress tracking, automatic certificates and an admin dashboard.
Can learners log in without a password?
Yes. The FSMS platform uses passwordless login, where learners get a sign in link by email. It saves a lot of support time on forgotten passwords.
Can certificates be issued automatically?
Yes. When a learner finishes a course, a certificate can be produced and emailed to them and, where it's needed, to their employer.
Can you build training records for workplaces?
Yes. The <a href="/case-studies/instaspace/">Instaspace</a> app records which subcontractors have read each safety document and completed each quiz and Toolbox Talk.
How do you handle children's and learners' data?
We collect only what's needed, hold it on Google Cloud in an EU region with nightly off-site backups, and sign a GDPR data processing agreement with the school or provider.
How much does education software cost?
A first version usually costs €3,000 to €8,000, a mid-sized system €8,000 to €12,000, and larger builds start at €15,000.
