Our Clients

Cognassist plays a pivotal role in helping Estio support our learners to achieve successful outcomes. Their formalised and tailored approach means we can offer additional bespoke support to learners with differing individual needs, including identifying neurodivergent learners, who may otherwise not have been identified as quickly.

Our data shows that the attainment rates of Estio learners with SEND requirements are at the same level or higher as their mainstream peers, and it is because of Cognassist that we’ve been able to put the early intervention in place for those that need it.

Estio

As a relatively new partner of Cognassist, we have placed the software at the heart of our additional learning support offer. Providing our delivery team with a comprehensive assessment and support tool is one of the key reasons we invested in the system.

The service from the team at Cognassist has been excellent and already we are seeing really positive impacts for our apprentices.

LDN Apprenticeships

Our mission at Acacia Training is to make education accessible for all. So many learners come to us feeling like they can't learn, our job is to show them that they just haven't been given the right tools for the job yet. Cognassist plays a huge part in this, it allows us to gain insight into each individual learner and support them in recognising their strengths and understanding why other tasks are more challenging. It's amazing to see learners light up when they gain their results and suddenly the pieces of the puzzle fit together. Cognassist builds confidence and supports development in a way that impacts all aspects of an individual's life, making learners more engaged with education and employment.

Our responsibility, and privilege, as educators is to help our learners gain all of the skills they need for life and work, now and for the future. If we don't give them the fundamental tools of understanding how they learn, how can we expect anyone to achieve their full potential?

JustIT

The implementation of Cognassist within our organisation has significantly impacted on our ability to ensure we are more inclusive in our delivery. As an independent training provider who have a commitment to learning to be "instinctively inclusive" by 2023.

Cognassist has enabled us to learn much more about celebrating individual differences, providing reasonable adjustments, making changes to our operations to allow for flexible and more bespoke delivery to meet needs and embedding a robust continuous professional development strategy for our team. This has improved staff engagement and satisfaction and learner satisfaction. Who knew that the Cognassist platform would help us initiate the start of our journey and give us the grounding to build upon.

Claire Gardner
Managing Director

Dynamic Training

I enjoy using Cognassist because the topics are very useful and relate well into a working situation, e.g. how to present your information in a clear and concise way or how to write emails in a professional way. I can be quite a shy person so the strategies relating to conversations are a real big help. Cognassist is suitable for anyone to help them achieve skills and handle everyday situations better.

Lois

Youthforce Learner

I'm a very visual learner. With my apprenticeship, I'd struggle with new information. But with Cognassist, the information you get is broken down into short chunks and easy to understand. My answers to questions got better and stronger and I'm a lot more confident in my knowledge of hospitality through the different skills I've learnt through Cognassist.

Lauren

RNN Apprentice

Cognassist's strategies help me in both my work as an apprentice and in my everyday life. I like that it's easy and simple to use and has everything I need to succeed. You pick things up and use them day to day. Cognassist has been so useful to me. I'd recommend the platform to anyone who wants to improve their learning.

Adam

YMCA Apprentice

I’ve never used a platform like this before, but I have to say it’s really, really helped me. The best thing about Cognassist is that you’re learning and getting a quiz. Other platforms will just give you a topic to research on and then test you on it, Cognassist teaches you and then gives you a quiz to check you understood. Cognassist also has great takeaway resources, I keep every single one! These resources really, really help me a lot.

Khadija

Get Set Academy Learner

I like that it is very informative and how visual it is. It’s all very clearly explained, and it helps me easily understand my strategies. I also really like the “Take Action” section, I even print the resources and use them long after the module is completed.

Ewelina

SERCO Learner

I really have enjoyed Cognassist and I’m glad I get to do it every month. I love it so much that I wish I could even do some of the strategies and even the assessment with my own students. A lot of my students are going into doing apprenticeships and finishing secondary school, I always advise them that if they have a chance to do Cognassist, they should jump at the chance to do it. Cognassist really has helped me and changed how I approach situations.

Caroline

Train Together Learner

The strategies are short and sweet. It’s motivating to know that I don’t have to spend 10 hours watching videos to learn and complete a new strategy, it takes only a few minutes which isn’t much of my time at all. I also find them very informative and helpful.

Tadala

Paragon Skills Learner

Cognassist helps me self-evaluate a lot more and really take stock of situations.

Kelly

GP Strategies Learner

It did take me a while to see why Cognassist is important but now I really enjoy all the new things I learn. One of the things that stands out for me is that it’s in video formats which are also quite short which makes it easier for me to understand and learn.

Dave

Dove Nest Learner

At first, I was a little bit sceptical about Cognassist. But after getting into the strategies shared every month, I came to see the benefits I got from it. I especially appreciate the email reminders that I get because I’m usually so busy with other things.

Tawanda

GP Strategies Learner

Cognassist is probably one of the easiest things I’ve had to learn how to use. Initially, I thought Cognassist would be something extra to do on top of my course, but I came to realize that it isn’t additional work at all.

Georgina

Learning Curve Learner

I find Cognassist quite easy and very informative. It’s nice that the videos and tasks are very relatable to me.

Kausar

City Training Services Learner

The strategies that I've been given work and are helpful with my job. Sometimes I find myself struggling to do a task at work and will realise, it’s not coming to me easily because of this part of my brain. It just reinforces that the more I practise the skills, and are more mindful about them, it helps me.

Liesel

Train Together Learner

Cognassist has really helped me develop my organisation and timing skills. The modules that Cognassist have presented to me in the past year have helped me to learn about the best methods of keeping track of time when either in or outside of work and how to make the most of this time. These modules I believe will prove to be very beneficial should I do very well in later life like becoming a manager or starting my own company.

Louie

City of Bristol College Learner

I will always recommend Cognassist to other learners because they've got so many things to gain from it. I'll say, if there is any learner that hasn't been able to get assessed through Cognassist, I'm very sure that they are missing out and that their education is lacking. I’m not blowing the Cognassist trumpet, but it really has helped me tremendously.
