Can I speak to someone about the programme?

Absolutely! Please register your interest at the top of the page and one of our team of qualified teachers will get in touch to discuss Digital Membership options with you. They will then be able to make a personalised recommendation to suit the needs of your setting.

Who can access Digital Membership?

Any UK school, college or specialist education setting can subscribe to Digital Membership. If you are outside the UK, please contact info@skillsbuilder.org to find out about our global programmes.

Is there any training or support included?

Digital Membership is a self-service programme and doesn’t include any CPD delivery. Access virtual training modules on the Hub for teachers, and receive regular communications from our team sharing tips for planning and strategy. Bespoke CPD can be added to your programme at an additional cost.

How much does Digital Membership cost?

Programme prices vary depending on the package you choose. Please navigate to the phase tabs to get recommendations for your setting.

Can I add other Premium Resources to my subscription?

If you are on the Core programme, you can add additional Challenge Days, the Project Package or the Work Experience Modules for an additional cost. You can also choose to upgrade your membership to Growth by paying the difference in price. 

You can upgrade Core, Growth or Impact at any time by paying the difference in price between your current tier, and your desired tier. Please contact us at digitalmembership@skillsbuilder.org for more information.

When will my programme start?

Digital Memberships run from late August to late July, in line with the UK academic year. If you purchase Digital Membership within the academic year, your subscription will start within a week of when you submitted the order form, and run to the end of the current academic year.

What will happen at the end of the academic year?

Before your subscription renews, you will receive an email from the team laying out the options for the following academic year. You will be asked to reply to this email if you would like to make any changes to your subscription before it automatically renews.

I am looking to find out about the other programmes which you run. Where do I go?

At Skills Builder we run three main programmes for schools and colleges. These are Digital Membership, Accelerator and Accelerator Plus. You can find out more about the Accelerator here.

Interested in learning more about Digital Membership?
