Why Multi Academy Trusts Need a Better Training Platform

We've been working with MATs across England, and the feedback is consistent — they need a platform that gives trust-wide visibility without creating more admin for individual schools.

Multi-Site Complexity

Managing training across multiple academies with different needs but shared governance requirements. Each school has its own culture, but the trust needs a single source of truth.

Safeguarding Compliance

Ensuring every member of staff — from teachers to caretakers — completes mandatory safeguarding training on time. Ofsted expects evidence that all staff are trained and up to date.

Staff Turnover & Onboarding

Onboarding new teachers, TAs, and support staff quickly without burdening school leadership teams. September intakes can mean hundreds of new starters across the trust.

Central Reporting for Trustees

Providing trust-level oversight while giving individual schools autonomy over their own training programmes. Trustees and governance boards need clear, reliable data.

Time-Poor Teaching Staff

Teachers are already stretched. Training must be concise, mobile-friendly, and completable in short sessions — not hour-long courses that pull them away from students.

Consistency Across Academies

Different schools using different systems creates gaps. A single platform ensures every academy follows the same standards, with the same reporting, and the same audit trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from trust HR leads, training coordinators, and headteachers.

Is ELEARNINGATE suitable for large Multi Academy Trusts?

Yes. We work with trusts of all sizes. Our platform is built to handle trust-wide deployment with centralised oversight and per-school management.

What courses are included in the subscription?

Our full training library is included — Safeguarding, Prevent, Fire Safety, Manual Handling, GDPR, First Aid, Mental Health, and more. All courses include a certificate of completion. They are professionally developed and aligned to UK educational and safeguarding requirements. Our courses are not currently accredited by a formal CPD body, though learners may record learning hours as self-directed CPD where applicable. There are no per-course fees.

Can headteachers manage their own school's training?

Absolutely. Our role-based access system gives trust leads full oversight while headteachers and school admins manage their own staff, courses, and reports independently.

Does it integrate with our MIS (SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom)?

We support integration with major MIS platforms. Staff data can be imported via CSV or API, and we handle the setup as part of onboarding.

How long does it take to set up across the trust?

Most trusts are fully set up and assigning training within 48 hours. We handle user imports, school structures, and training matrix configuration as part of onboarding.
