The Teachers Training

What The Teachers Training does

The Teachers Training is a London-based online education platform founded in 2020 that delivers continuing professional development (CPD) courses and Ofqual-regulated qualifications primarily to aspiring teachers, current educators, childcare workers, and education-sector professionals in the United Kingdom. Its core offering comprises more than 1,000 individual online courses spanning teaching methodologies, special educational needs (SEN), childcare, leadership, business, health and safety, and personal development, supplemented by regulated RQF qualifications awarded through Focus Awards at Levels 3-5, with the regulated accreditation chain extending through Ofqual, CEA, and Qualifications Wales.

The platform is built on a WordPress-based learning management system with e-commerce functionality, social login (Facebook, Google), PayPal and card payments, and integrates with AXELOS/One Education for PRINCE2 certification delivery. Technology investment is concentrated on catalog breadth and certification delivery rather than advanced platform features; no API, SDK, AI capabilities, or native mobile application are disclosed, and the primary technical differentiator is the awarding-body accreditation layer and the breadth of the course catalog (1,000+ courses across 94 directory pages, 14,000+ cumulative learners, 7,000+ certifications issued).

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining self-serve e-commerce (individual course purchases at £19.99-£699, bundles at up to 97% off, a £99 Lifetime Prime Membership subscription) with a sales-led enterprise motion for school and college team training at £7.99-£9.99 per learner. Ancillary revenue is generated from certificates (£16.99-£29.99), transcripts, student ID cards, and gift cards, with global shipping available for physical products. Marketing is driven by content/SEO, organic social on Facebook/LinkedIn/Twitter, email, and an affiliate/referral program, supported by a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating from 54 reviews.
