Every workforce workflow, in one place.
Five modules, each a standalone product elsewhere, delivered as one platform. Every school workflow sits in a single system.
One platform.Whole Workforce
Senior Leader
Clear oversight. Greater impact.
Teacher
Professional development made simple.
Safeguarding Lead
Compulsory training, tracked automatically.
SENDCO
Tailored support. Better outcomes.
Administrator
Less admin. More time for what matters.
Five modules,each best in class.
Each one is a product schools would buy on its own. Together they run on one platform.
Module 01
Professional Development
One of the largest accredited CPD libraries in education, and the acquisition point for most new members. Content is produced in-house rather than licensed, so margin and roadmap stay under NEG control.
Every member of staff trained to the standard their role demands, evidenced as they go.
Produced in-house
Every programme is developed with recognised subject-matter experts, not licensed in, so gross margin holds as volume grows.
The record at inspection
Accredited training tracked against the standards each market is measured on, and the evidence schools are held to when inspected.
Every role, every setting
From classroom support to executive leadership, which is what allows one licence to cover an entire workforce.
Module 02
Leadership & Governance
Policy, governance and compliance in one hub. Regulatory and accreditation obligation makes this non-discretionary spend, and everyday use turns the platform into the school’s audit record.
Policy, sign-off and board evidence held in one place, current the day an inspector asks.
Maintained centrally
Policy and guidance track regulatory change centrally, a recurring obligation schools do not take back in-house.
A full audit trail
Board minutes, policy versions and sign-off in one place, the record an inspector or accreditor asks for first.
Displaces manual process
Replaces the spreadsheets, shared drives and paper packs schools run today, raising the cost of moving back.
Module 03
People Development
Appraisal and development in one evidenced cycle. The market buys these as two separate systems today, which is where the displacement opportunity sits.
Appraisal and development as one evidenced cycle, not two systems and an annual scramble.
Aligned to national standards
Frameworks map to recognised professional standards, so appraisal output is defensible rather than locally invented.
Tied to institutional priorities
Individual objectives roll up to school and group goals, giving leaders one view of performance against strategy.
Reporting that evidences impact
Development activity reported against outcomes, the renewal argument the platform makes on its own behalf.
Module 04
Teacher & Leader AI
Education-specific AI delivered inside a governed environment. AI governance is becoming a procurement condition, and few providers in the sector are certified to meet it.
AI inside the daily work, governed to a standard the sector has barely started to meet.
Governed by design
ISO certified and independently assured, with no school data shared externally to train models, in any market.
Trained on sector guidance
Grounded in the frameworks each market is inspected or accredited against, and in NEG’s own expert content, which generic assistants cannot replicate.
A reason to move tier
The newest module and the clearest upgrade trigger, pulling existing members up the membership ladder.
Module 05
Group Management
Makes the group, not the school, the unit of sale. One relationship covers many settings, which compresses cost of acquisition and raises retention across the whole estate.
Every setting on one standard, reported centrally, managed as one relationship.
Central oversight
A single view of CPD, compliance and improvement across every setting, so groups can see where support is needed.
Standardised practice
One standard applied across the estate, which is what makes the platform hard to remove school by school.
Highest-value tier
The top of the membership ladder, and the tier with the strongest contract value and renewal profile.
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.
Single CPD and compliance solution massively saves time and cuts costs
The single subscription eliminated external training cover costs, reduced administrative burden, and enabled self-paced career progression. It established consistent school-wide practices and simplified parent and governor engagement.
High-quality CPD delivers impact for all stakeholders
Admin has reduced, leaders can evidence compliance training in a few clicks, and staff now proactively drive their own growth, helping to boost classroom outcomes and establish culture of academy-wide excellence.
Developing people and improving outcomes across the trust
Membership helped the school reduce workload, achieve Ofsted readiness, ensure trust-wide compliance, and empower 1,400 staff to enhance practice and raise outcomes.
Consistency, Communication and Clarity: Core Benefits of The National College
Membership enhances consistency, communication, and clarity. With single-login access to thousands of CPD resources and a bespoke appraisal system, staff can take control of their own professional growth.
Helping to establish consistent practice and inspire lifelong learning
The platform unified split-site teams, reduced external training costs, and established robust compliance. Bespoke content inspired staff, boosted confidence, and sparked a powerful culture of lifelong learning.
Flexible CPD Saves Hours and Supports Work/Life Balance
The platform has helped reduce the admin burden and strengthen compliance, giving leaders the visibility they need. Being able to access CPD on demand supports work-life balance, while empowering staff and governors, and has saved substantial budget.
A seamless system for compliance and workforce development
The school has implemented a seamless system. Leaders have saved countless hours on policy creation and gained peace of mind that compliance documentation and training are up to date, while staff are able to take ownership of career pathways.
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.
From one school to a global network.
Which settings use the platform?
The National College supports every type of education setting, from individual schools to multi-academy trusts and school groups. We operate globally, with users in more than 100 countries.
Which countries do you operate in?
We support schools across the UK and internationally in more than 100 countries, with over 12,000 educational institutions on the platform.
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 trust and local authority procurement standards.
