Every learner dropout isn’t just a missed career pathway it’s extra cost, a threat to your contract performance, and a sign that something’s not working.
The Cognassist digital cognitive assessment uncovers the hidden reasons learners disengage before it’s too late.
Case study
Lincoln College collaborated with Cognassist to identify and support neurodiverse learners, resulting in improved engagement and retention.
Key outcomes
learners assessed

Many dropouts aren’t down to motivation or a lack of effort. Many occur due to a cognitive mismatch between the way the learner is expected to consume and retain information versus how their particular brain is best suited to do so.
Our assessment helps tutors quickly understand how their learners think, so they can adapt their approach and improve outcomes for the learner and the provider.
Use our clinical and consumer reports to better understand your learners and actively engage them in personalising their learning journey.

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.
Enabling the learner by ensuring that your organisation and their tutor are informed and enabled to make adjustments to personalise their learning has been shown to improve motivation by 16%.
