Specialist
education support.
We've got you and your students covered. Whether you're looking for remote desk support, onsite technician support, planning and teaching support — or all three. We're here to help ensure everything runs smoothly.
What You Get
Tailored IT support built for schools.
We live and breathe technology. Having one of our technical account managers on hand ensures you're getting the most out of your IT — conducting regular reviews and formulating road-maps.
Our expert teachers will regularly visit your school or academy to discuss future requirements, government requirements and educational IT development. We ensure curriculum requirements are completed to the highest standard.
We take the time to get to know your school and technical requirements inside out. You'll be told honestly about what services you actually need — we prefer to think of you as a partner rather than a customer.
You'll always speak to a highly skilled engineer who will deal with your issue straight away, aiming for a fix the first time around.
On-site Technician Support
DBS-cleared technicians, on your site.
We have a professional team of DBS-cleared technicians to carry out essential infrastructure maintenance, resolve general IT-related issues for admin and curriculum users, and perform system and software upgrades. Each job is updated in real time using our online support management system.
"It's your time you're wasting, not mine..." — We're Teacher's Pets & Proud.
We believe that the future is in your students' hands and switching between providers should be the least of your worries. We consider your current situation and ask plenty of questions ahead of time, so there are no surprises when it comes time to switch.
