About us

Staff Skills academy+ (formerly Staff Skills Training) was founded in 2017.

 

As one of the academy+ brands, our aim is to help SMEs upskill their workers more easily. How? By equipping them with all their mandatory training, personal development and wellbeing services, on a single platform.

We use AI to tailor courses and content to clients’ needs and respond quickly and efficiently to new regulations or requirements. We also provide white-labelled online training to larger membership organisations such as Unison, Tesco and Vodafone.



Company mission and values

Our mission is to make staff compliance, development and wellbeing simple. How? By providing a learning platform that puts everything in one place. It’s the smarter way to support staff while reducing the pressure on HR and L&D managers.

As a business, our company values – integrity, inclusivity and ingenuity – are the foundations of everything we do.
