Inspiring Leaders Today

A CPD booking platform that transformed how a partnership books development

Visit the live platform

Colleagues across a national partnership needed a single, reliable place to find and book professional development, and the team behind it needed a single place to run every event, register and report. Scattered spreadsheets and manual admin had to become one streamlined, on-brand platform.

Front of house

The half colleagues see.

One place colleagues can trust: search, filter and browse every CPD opportunity across the partnership, then book in a few clear steps.

The booking home: search, filter and browse across topics, programmes and locations, in a grid or a calendar.

Two ways to find the right session

Grid: scan sessions as cards, with live booking counts and unambiguous fully-booked states.
Calendar: the same events, planned by date.

From browse to booked

Every event, in full, with real-time availability so a session never overbooks.
Series booking: a whole cohort booked in one go, not one date at a time.

What colleagues can do

  • An end-to-end booking flow that's simple, streamlined and user-led
  • Browse and filter CPD by type, topic and location, in a grid or a calendar
  • Real-time capacity and clear "fully booked" states on every session
  • Multi-event series booking, so a whole cohort is booked in one go
  • Personal accounts to book, manage bookings and set the CPD areas that matter

The engine room

The half that does the work.

The booking experience is only half of it. Behind it sits a custom admin platform the team runs the whole partnership from. Reporting, people, events and registers, in one place.

The admin dashboard: MAT and event rankings, attendance rates and upcoming-event counts at a glance.
User management for the whole partnership: filter by MAT, school, role and status, approve new accounts, and export the lot.
In-depth reporting on users, events, bookings and attendance, each report exportable as CSV.

What the team runs it with

  • A custom admin dashboard with in-depth reporting across events, bookings and attendance
  • User management for the whole partnership, tied to MATs and schools
  • Event and series management, created and scheduled end to end
  • Live registers and attendance tracking for every session
  • Automatic waiting lists that release a place the moment one frees up
  • A custom integration with their WordPress site, keeping contacts and email marketing in step

Rob has played a key role in helping us design and develop our new CPD Booking Platform, which has transformed the way colleagues across our partnership engage with and book their professional development. Our platform provided an end-to-end booking process which is simple, streamlined, and user-led, giving users full control over browsing, booking, and managing their CPD.

Throughout the development process, Rob has been a pleasure to work with: responsive, adaptable, and always open to feedback. He has taken the time to understand our needs and has been proactive in refining the platform to ensure it meets the needs of both our internal team and our wider partnership.

The finished product is sleek, intuitive, and perfectly on brand, offering a professional and user-friendly interface that reflects our organisation's identity. Functionally, the platform is clear, efficient, and easy to navigate, making the experience seamless from sign-up to booking confirmation.

We're delighted with the outcome and truly value Rob's expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to developing a platform that meets our needs.

Booked and run in one place

Inspiring Leaders Today runs CPD across a national education partnership: Leaders Learning Exchange cohorts, Connect Days, and international study visits. Colleagues book it and the team runs it from the same platform, from a first sign-up to the register on the day.
