Training & CPD
Training, designed for you, for the lifetime of your technology. Ensuring teachers, students and IT get the best value from their tech.
Research and experience tells us that teachers regularly don't receive the training they need to make the most of their technology, meaning schools and pupils are not getting the best value.
This is mostly because of the time it takes, the availability of relevant content, low allocation in budgets and also schools seeing it as not being necessary. This lack of training leads to teachers not wanting to use the technology and neglecting some of its most useful functions.
Furthermore, IT teams are often left to work everything out for themselves with set up, snagging and device support and management. It would be far more efficient to give IT the tools and knowledge they need to find the solutions they need.
At Elementary Technology, we have changed the game. We're the only specialist provider to plan, supply and install the technology, and then provide robust, ongoing training and CPD in a way which is tailored to the user.
The Elementary Technology Academy is our training provision, led by our Head of Education & Training who has spent over twenty years in a variety of roles in education; at an LA sharing expertise on technology in the 2000s, as a teacher and Early Years lead and in school leadership at a large MAT.
The result is a comprehensive training resource for everyone in education, built by our team through experience, passion and expertise.
Content tailored to your teachers and IT teams
Whether you're a large secondary school with 1-to-1 pupil devices using SMART Boards, a small primary school using Promethean ActivPanels or a Trust using a mix throughout, we have something for everyone.
As well as providing a clear 3 month onboarding plan for new users, we can curate a 'curriculum' for your staff as part of a longer-term Training Framework.
Delivery tailored to your schedules and school
The two most precious commodities in schools are time and budget. We're here to support you with both - affordable training, how you want it and when you want it.
