SIMS for Everyone

If you've never used SIMS before, or if you are looking to land a dream job in a school, SIMS for Beginners is a great place to start. From SIMS beginners, to advanced assessment analysis, this site has a range of courses for you.

Power BI Skills

Microsoft Power BI is fast becomming the de facto standard for analysing school data. You will find all the courses you need to become a Power BI guru for your school. I've created a set of courses that will show you all the key techniques that you'll need to create deep analyses of your school data.

Become a SIMS Assessment Expert

If you need to set up your school's SIMS Assessment marksheets, check out the SIMS Assessment training bundle (below). The bundle contains all the important skills and techniques that you'll need to become a key member of your school's data team. I've focused on teaching what you need to know to do your job and I've cut out all the useless stuff you don't need.

Training for a Fantastic Career

Jobs in schools remain popular and with experienced data managers earning upwards of £30,000 getting the right skills is important. Working in schools, doing a meaningful job that can positively influence children's lives is a wonderful career.
