Our Approach
Envisage
Action: We advise and support you on the viability of running short/summer programmes with your vision of what they will look like and how you will measure success. We explore course themes to complement your educational values and to attract a diverse international audience. At the same time, we outline the basic foundations needed for a successful set-up including resources, facilities and timelines.
Outcomes: A clear statement of intent with a plan of action, and desired outcomes with a deadline. This will define what needs to be done, why and when.
Method: Online for 60 – 90 minutes with SLT
Fees: £350 + VAT
Engage
Action: For staffing, we define roles, person specifications and job descriptions, recruitment processes and onboarding strategies. In addition, we help to structure the curriculum and activities to ensure a distinctive and memorable experience for your students.
We implement strategies to attract international students considering agents, direct bookings, groups vs individuals and online advertising. Also, we look at planning effective promotional strategies including when to go, where to go, who to see and what to say.
At the end of this session, we provide our user-friendly ‘short course success’ manual with step-by-step instructions for every aspect of your set-up.
Outcomes: Optimisation of programme creation with clear expectations and deadlines. Active and positive engagement with sources for student bookings that promote the school brand and its short course programme benefits.
Method: A half-day onsite with all staff involved.
Fees: £1200 + VAT

Action: We will revisit to provide a supportive audit of how well the agreed preparations have been implemented. Any outstanding challenges can be addressed and further areas for improvement suitably polished. This phase is about refining and solidifying the summer school’s position for sustained success.
The goal is to get things right the first time, with flawless execution, quality delivery and building a positive reputation for the summer courses. This includes addressing potential challenges and how to overcome them effectively. Post-summer will be the time to define how effective the programme has been and then the who, how, what, and when of its continuation (or adaptation).
Outcomes: The vision of running a summer school was realised with intended outcomes reached on time and within budget. A clear plan is in place for the future to offer educational excellence and long-term financial sustainability.
Method: A full-day onsite with all relevant staff.
Fees: £2600 + VAT
