About

We are a team of tech, education and marketing specialists based in England and Canada. For the last 10-years we have delivered web services and software to help the school, college and private training sectors thrive online.

With a track record of growing online learning communities, we support all types of Thinkific clients, including coaches and individuals, non-profits and established businesses. We understand the pressures and pitfalls of scaling an online learning business because we have experienced and lived it ourselves.

For over a decade, we have been committed to providing top-quality web services and software solutions to foster growth in the education sector. Our expertise began with supporting schools, colleges, and private training institutions, enabling them to expand their reach and offer exceptional eLearning experiences.

My passion for finding the best online learning solutions was ignited when my youngest son, who has Down Syndrome, was born. I recognised the global need for accessible and affordable professional training.

In 2019, we expanded our services with the launch of SchudioTV and The Ability Bridge, both utilising the Thinkific platform. These initiatives have cultivated an international community of over 50,000 schools, education professionals, and parents, all dedicated to supporting young people with special educational needs and disabilities.

We have since worked with a diverse range of course creators around the world, assisting them in establishing and growing successful online learning communities.

If you are looking for a Thinkific Expert with a long-term proven success in online learning and want to know more about working with us or have a course creation question or request, please get in touch with us at experts@schudio.tv.
