Telford education company wins award
A small education consultancy and teacher training company based in Telford has won the Microsoft Global Training Partner of the Year award 2021.
The award was announced at the Global Training Partner Summit and was awarded for all the work Tablet Academy has done in supporting schools, teachers, and governments across the world in how to use Microsoft Teams effectively to support remote teaching and learning.
Of the award, Professor Steve Molyneux, chairman and co-founder of Tablet Academy, said: “We are so proud to accept this global award on behalf of all our staff for their dedication in supporting education, especially during the Covid lockdowns."
Tablet Academy has grown from a small training organisation with an office in the Telford Park School building to a company with an international outreach with franchise offices in France, Germany, Malta, Morocco, Netherlands, Nigeria, Poland, Scotland, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, who collectively train in excess of 150,000 teachers a year.
Mr Molyneux said: "Given our experience in training education end-users in the effective use of Microsoft Office365, and especially Teams, we are often asked if we can provide training to businesses on how to use the technology to support both remote and hybrid working and have provided training to organisations such as Proctor & Gamble, The Pensions Regulator, Skipton Building Society, and many more. Training can be expensive and so we would now like to put a low cost training offer in how to use the technology to increase productivity of those who are self-employed or running small businesses."
