Introducing Spriing: Hybrid Learning for Access to HE
Our new hybrid learning platform, Spriing, will be available for the 2026–2027 academic year and represents one of our most significant developments to date. Purpose-built to support Access to HE delivery, Spriing offers centres flexible, engaging solutions that enhance both blended and face-to-face learning experiences.
Spriing brings together digital learning resources, interactive content and structured support to complement classroom-based teaching. Designed with both learners and centres in mind, the platform supports blended and hybrid models of delivery, helping providers respond to changing learner needs while maintaining the academic rigour of Access to HE Diplomas.
By offering greater flexibility, accessibility and consistency, Spriing will help learners build confidence, stay engaged and prepare for progression into higher education.

Immersive Learning Scenarios for Healthcare Access Diplomas
We are also developing a range of cutting-edge Access to HE Healthcare Pathways in partnership with Metaverse Learning, which feature immersive learning scenarios that are designed to bring learning to life by placing students in realistic, sector-relevant situations that reflect the challenges and decision-making they may encounter in healthcare settings.
Through interactive and applied learning, students can deepen their understanding of key concepts, develop critical thinking skills and gain insight into real-world healthcare practice. These immersive resources aim to strengthen progression into healthcare degrees and careers by bridging the gap between academic study and professional expectations.
