Hidden learner struggles drive costly dropout

You invest in every new learner, but some quietly fall behind. Hidden cognitive challenges—like working memory or executive function differences—go unnoticed until they disengage or leave. By the time you spot the problem, it’s often too late to intervene.

Cognassist flags risk early. Our Cognitive Diversity Assessment identifies learners likely to struggle within the first 42 days. Tutors receive clear, actionable insights and ready-to-use strategies from Kai: Learning Assistant, so support is proactive—not reactive.

Protect Your Funding by Preventing Learner Attrition

Are you losing too many promising learners? Each dropout costs more than just funding; it impacts your success rates, damages your reputation, and can lead to contract penalties. The pressure to meet rising retention targets is immense, but you’re flying blind, unsure who will leave next.

Shift from reactive to proactive with Cognassist. Our Cognitive Diversity Assessment gives you a clear, data-driven view of which learners are at risk from day one. Tutors receive actionable insights to build a truly Personalised Support Plan, turning the tide on attrition and safeguarding your contracts.

Empower Tutors to Deliver Personalised Support, Effortlessly

Your tutors are passionate but stretched thin. They want to provide individualised support but lack the time, tools, and expert guidance to do so consistently for every learner. This leads to generic interventions that don’t address the root cause, leaving both tutors and learners frustrated.

We put an educational psychologist in every tutor’s pocket. Cognassist translates complex cognitive data into simple, actionable steps within a learner’s Personalised Support Plan. This removes the administrative burden and empowers tutors with the confidence to differentiate their teaching and make a real impact on learner engagement and success.

What our customers say


The real difference has been having it embedded at the very start. Learners that have really engrossed themselves into it from the beginning have seen the power of it and it’s been able to support them, not only in their work but around their life and dealing with different areas. We found that with our functional skills as well.

Implementing Cognassist has been a game-changer for us; we can now better support each individual thanks to a deeper insight into learning and development needs. We can also make vital adjustments and adapt assessments appropriately to help everyone complete their training on time.

Many organisations face higher drop-out early in their course, typically due to the learner disconnecting with the subject or their tutor, or in the case of adult learners finding that the challenges they faced into and struggled with at school are not being removed.
