S-cool Introduce Professional Services Team

Dec 3, 2009  |  Education Services

S-cool is delighted to announce the creation of a new Professional Services Team, offering bespoke consultancy, training and support services.

Online learning systems, like S-cool Application Process and S-cool Area Prospectus are now a significant part of life in schools across the country. S-cool Professional Services work with educational organisations, including schools, colleges and local authorities to ensure that the systems prove to be a valuable resource to learners, as well as those involved in the delivery of their education.

Stuart Smith, Head of Professional Services, talks about the new division:

"We've developed S-cool Professional Services to help educational organisations to make the most of their systems. We aim to be flexible and responsive to meet their needs, working with them to meet objectives that are unique to their situation and environment.

Whatever a school, college or local authority is looking to achieve with their S-cool system, we can help. From training packages across a consortium to full system audits, we provide a tailored service to help them to get to where they want to be."

To contact S-cool Professional Services, call 0117 3707000 ext 703, or email consultancy@s-cool.com.

S-cool Revision Launches 'S-zone'

Oct 20, 2009  |  Youth Marketing

S-cool.co.uk moves beyond revision with the release of a new information, advice and entertainment section, S-zone.

S-zone provides its students with access to information on careers, lifestyle tips, course and learning opportunities as well as a chance to take some 'Time Out' from revision, listen to music and play games.

 S-cool.co.uk is used by over two million students each month, and S-zone provides an additional channel for organisations to build relationships with 14-19 year olds.

Richard Mojel, S-cool's Managing Director highlights some of the possibilities of the new area:

"We conducted a survey in June of nearly 7000 students. There was significant demand for a dedicated section which would help our students to consider and explore learning and career opportunities, as well as having some fun at the same time - hence we created S-zone."

"S-zone is a powerful and exciting tool. It helps engage students who take their learning seriously, at a time when they are also considering what they want to do in their life. A number of organisations have seen the potential in this area - we have already received a number of enquiries from Universities wanting to promote their courses to prospective students."

If you would like to find out more about S-zone or to talk about marketing and advertising opportunities, please call 0117 370 7000, and select extension 3, or email advertise@s-cool.com.

Back to School: S-cool Release Three Enhanced Products

Sep 1, 2009  |  Education Services

As millions of learners across the UK return to school, many of them will have access to three enhanced online products: S-cool Area Prospectus, S-cool Application Process and S-cool Plan-it.

Over the course of the next year, learners will use these products to support them in their education and career choices, help them plan and consider their future, as well as search and apply for further education and training.

The three products, already market leaders, have been enhanced to bring a number of additional benefits to users of the systems:

  • Learners can now use a number of different search terms in S-cool Area Prospectus, including course type, provider type and qualification type. This enhanced keyword search makes it easier and quicker for learners to find courses that interest them. 
  • S-cool Application Process is a brand new product. Working in consultation with learners we have significantly enhanced the learner experience through improving the design and layout of the site. There have also been a number of enhancements to the administrator functionality, including the ability to set up bespoke and multiple applications for areas.
  • There have also been a number of developments to S-cool Plan-it, including enhancements to the 'Skills Quiz'. Learners can now assess and record their Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS) to help them understand and develop qualities and skills needed for success in learning and life.

For more information on any of these products or developments, please call 0117 370 7000, or email education@s-cool.com.
