Background

Established in 2011, Train Together, a dynamic Training Provider specialising in delivering high-quality apprenticeships, have been utilising the Cognassist platform since 2020.

With neurodiversity at the heart of their mission, and the privilege of working with a diverse range of learners, they’re committed to ensuring that every learner has the tools and support they need to succeed, regardless of their learning differences.

We caught up with their ‘Head of Learning Support’, Nicola Clark, to gain a greater understanding of how, in her words, ‘Cognassist has been instrumental in helping to achieve our goals’.

How Train Together identified a problem, found a solution, and what the impact has been…

The Challenge

Before the introduction of Cognassist, Train Together recognised significant gaps in their ability to effectively identify and support neurodiverse learners.

Head of Learning Support, Nicola Clark, stated,

“Many learners were slipping through the cracks, particularly those who required reasonable adjustments or additional help to reach their potential.

We needed a robust, evidence-based solution that would help us identify and meet the needs of all learners, fostering inclusion across the board.” 

The Solution

Continuing to share Train Together’s personal experience of Cognassist, Nicola stated that their introduction to the platform was “seamless“.

She continued…

“The expertise and guidance provided by the team during implementation were invaluable.

They offered training tailored to our specific needs and ensured effective integration of the platform into our processes.

Cognassist not only aligned with our compliance requirements but also exceeded our expectations in terms of ease of use and ongoing support.

The continued assistance we receive, especially updates on funding rules and best practices, has been exceptional.

Their regular webinars and personalised support have been major highlights. 

Since adopting Cognassist, we have experienced transformative results. We can now identify learners who need additional support from day one, allowing for timely interventions and personalised learning experiences.

Our learners report feeling more understood and supported, and our tutors are better equipped to provide targeted assistance.

Additionally, thanks to insights gained from Cognassist, we have established a structured Reasonable Adjustment Policy and Matrix.”

The Impact

Following the successful integration and ongoing usage of the Cognassist platform, we spoke with Train Together about the impact that Cognassist solution has had on them as a business and on the individuals who utilise it.

Head of Learning Support, Nicola Clark, continued…

“Cognassist has helped us achieve remarkable outcomes.

As one of the top-performing Cognassist project managers in the country, I have witnessed firsthand how the platform enhances learner outcomes and compliance standards.

Metrics such as timely completions, learner engagement, and satisfaction scores have significantly improved since implementation.

Most importantly, our learners feel valued, included, and empowered to succeed. 

Train Together has already fully integrated Cognassist into our processes, achieving 95%- 100% engagement regularly.

We are proud to have recently received a “Good” rating in our latest Ofsted inspection, highlighting our commitment to quality and learner success. Train Together is working on becoming an outstanding Provider, and Cognassist is integral to supporting the transition

By continually refining our use of Cognassist and staying up to date with the latest developments, we aim to ensure every learner receives the best possible experience and outcomes.”
