How starting works
Three steps from here to a path that’s yours
It’s quick and it’s free. About five minutes, and nothing to commit to. Here’s exactly what happens next, and exactly what you’ll be asked, before anything asks for your details.
Free to search and plan. The companion is £70 a month, about £2.30 a day. Cancel any time.

You start learning
With your path and your companion.
What it asks you
Seven short chapters. You can see all of them now, before you begin — no page of it is hidden behind the next. Most answers are a tap; the ones that matter most are in your own words, and you can keep those as short as you like.
- 1
Who you are.
Your name, what you would like to be called, and roughly where you are. Your birthday only if you want it remembered.
- 2
What you are doing right now.
Your role, employer and industry — or your institution and course if you are studying. Then your week, honestly.
- 3
What you have already studied.
Any qualifications worth counting: type, level, title, awarding body, year. And how the studying actually felt.
- 4
Where you are heading.
The direction you want, in your own words. No dropdown can hold this one.
- 5
How you feel about all this.
Where your head is, what is on your mind, and who is around you while you do it.
- 6
Things you love.
What you would happily spend a Sunday on. Your path is built to include it, not ignore it.
- 7
How learning fits your life.
When you are sharpest, how long a session can realistically be, the pace you want, and how you like ideas explained.
Every one of these feeds the plan. The qualifications you already hold decide what you should not have to study twice; where you are heading decides the target; when you are sharpest and how long you can sit down for decide the shape of the sessions. That is why it asks about your week and not just your job title.
