Workforce enablement for international schools.
British-standard training, policy and compliance for international schools and school groups in more than 100 countries, mapped to the frameworks you are inspected against.
Every compliance workflow, one place to get it done.
International schools juggle CPD, governance, compliance, appraisal and leadership across campuses and time zones. The platform turns them into one task list for each person and follows up until it is done.
Why The National College is the first choice for international schools
The school has built a strong culture of professional growth. The platform has saved leadership admin time, streamlined onboarding, and provided flexible, cost-effective CPD, based on the British curriculum but with an international focus.
Using one platform to establish a culture of learning
The school has established a strong, unified culture of continuous learning. Flipped learning helps embed core pedagogy in classrooms, content keeps staff engaged, and automated platform features simplify group-wide reporting.
Driving Consistent Practice with a Single CPD Solution
Membership is a much more cost effective option than face-to-face training. It has helped the school establish a common approach to pedagogy and safeguarding, and enables staff to fit CPD around their busy schedules.
Purpose-built for BSO, ISI and COBIS.
Every module is built on the British standards international schools are inspected against, so your evidence holds up wherever your campus is.
Accreditation trackers
Evidence at a glance, tracked against BSO and accreditation standards without a spreadsheet.
Internationally recognised training
UK-accredited courses adapted for international settings, including the DfE-assured Mental Health Lead course.
Policy publishing, covered
Core policies kept current and ready to share with parents, boards and inspectors.
Upholding the highest governance standards.
An institutional safeguard for workforce, leadership and school data, certified to the standards school groups and international procurement teams expect.
Compare memberships.
Better together. Every module shares one staff record, so training logged in Professional Development flows straight into appraisal, policy sign-off and group reporting.

International schools in more than 100 countries use the platform, alongside schools across the UK. That is over 12,000 educational institutions in total.
How do modules become membership tiers?
Each module is a product schools would buy on its own. Schools choose the modules they need within one membership of The National College and add more as their needs grow.
How are acquisitions integrated?
Every company we acquire and every product we build becomes a workflow module in one platform: The National College. CPD library, Policies for Schools, The School Bus, BlueSky Education and Governors’ Virtual Office all now sit inside its modules.
How is AI governed?
AI in the platform runs inside a governed environment certified to ISO 42001 for AI management. No school data is shared externally to train AI models, and every feature is built to school group and international procurement standards.
