…But besides the swear jar being full and people clocking off WAY later than they should, how can you tell if your staff are struggling to manage their tech?
If you answer ‘Yes!’ to ANY of these questions, you definitely need our help…
They feel stressed, frustrated and as if their
workload is getting the better of them.
Employees seem to waste countless hours on
admin tasks that should be simple.
They’d only just worked out the old system and you think you’ve wasted your money.
If you can’t look after your own systems, you can’t deliver your best work externally.
It’s like they’ve given up on producing their best work because of a tech barrier.
Previous training sessions have been hella boring and difficult to understand.
With our training, your staff will work smarter, find more free time and feel confident,
supported and empowered. They’ll be able to immediately implement their learning to
boost efficiency and achieve performance targets…
You’re welcome!

development and training for education is something we’re really passionate about. Our training is available

levels and unique focus areas.
From your front office staff and classroom teachers,
right the way through to the leadership of your school, everyone will be on the same page when it comes to using technology in a way that helps them do their
jobs easily, effectively and to the best of their ability

so anyone can expand their tech
knowledge – anytime, anywhere. It follows the same process as the on site training,
but attendees join live, virtual classes
completely independently.

Demand gives you unfettered access to over 40 prerecorded online courses, short and snappy UTB Shorts, Skills Checklist a swag of added bonuses.
We’ve all been there. Stuffy, boring tech training that leaves us sprawled over the desk begging for mercy. You end up distracted and disinterested – scrolling through old Facebook photos or online shopping for a pair of killer new shoes.
Let’s see if you can relate…
Here’s what a typical (a.k.a boring!) training session looks like:
A stranger rocks up in a fancy shirt, stands at the front of the room with an overflowing slide deck full of cringe-worthy stock images. For hours on end, this monotone voice goes in one ear and out the other while everyone is doing their best not to fall asleep! Oh… And the person who organised the training is taken off the Christmas list.
It’s part of the reason why so many people don’t engage with technology training – and never fully understand how it can benefit them. It’s just dull!
Learning about technology shouldn’t send you to
sleep! And we’ve seen far too many trainers who
clearly don’t want to be there delivering programs
that are out-dated and irrelevant (they’d have a
hard time keeping their own mothers interested).
Our promise to you is that our sessions will be
relevant, engaging and leave your staff wanting
more (we even guarantee it!).
Whether you’re a small school with a handful of
staff or a multinational organisation with
thousands of employees, no two training situations
are the same. That’s why we take the time to
understand your specific targets and adapt accordingly. We never take a cookie-cutter
approach to your development.
Seriously, they’re awesome (just ask them) – and
endorsed at the highest level. Our trainers
understand the process of delivering fun, useful
training that gets you from where you are to where
you want to be. And you’ll always get up-to-the-
minute solutions that work consistently – with
minimal resistance and frustration.
We’re fully-accredited coaches and professional learning specialists backed by
Microsoft, Google, Apple and more of the brightest minds in the technology industry. By working with these trusted partners, we can help you conquer your tech demons!

It really gets you thinking about ‘why’ you do what you do. Great to have time out from the classroom to experiment and have time to think and discuss different ideas.
Thank you Mike! I really found the 4 week course on ‘How to Motivate, Manage & Engage Your Students’ really interesting and great food for thought on how to improve my class routines and student engagement.
Mike, awesome course, fantastic resources and a real wake-up for someone who considers himself technically astute but not necessarily updated!
I have been teaching for four years, and this was the best Professional Development course I have completed…even the students said
to me “you should do these things more often.
OMG!!! What a change! This class
has a lot of students in it, and I find the room very small for all the different personalities.
I just wanted to say an extra big thank you for providing such a great service. Online, at night and in the comfort of home – with my two young children asleep in the other room – pretty awesome actually.
We take an owner’s mindset which
means we’ll do what is best for
your context and people.
We have a strict no geek speak, no
snoozefest presentations and
certainly no training for the sake of
training policy; aka we can read a
room and adapt.
Less about the tools and more about how your team are using them.
