About

Thinkific Experts, course creation and B2B strategy specialists based in the UK and Canada.

Are you a B2B company selling online courses on Thinkific? Our friendly and professional team of Thinkific Experts is here to elevate your business to new heights. With a track record of growing online learning communities, we understand the unique needs of B2B businesses because we have experienced and lived it ourselves.

For over a decade, we have been dedicated to delivering top-notch web services and software solutions that empower growth in the education sector. Our journey began by helping schools, colleges, and private training institutions thrive online, enabling them to reach wider audiences and offer valuable eLearning experiences.

I have been passionate about finding the best solutions for online learning since my youngest son was born. Arran has Down Syndrome and the training needed by professionals globally can be hard to access and expensive.

In 2019, we took our expertise to the next level with the launch of SchudioTV and The Ability Bridge, both powered by the Thinkific platform. Together, they have fostered an international community of over 50,000 schools, education professionals, and parents, all united in their commitment to supporting young people with special educational needs and disabilities.

Since then, we have served a wide range of B2B clients all over the world in establishing and growing successful online learning communities.

As your dedicated B2B online course expert, we're here to be your strategic partner on this exciting journey. We'll combine our proven expertise, Thinkific mastery, and a track record of success to elevate your B2B online course sales to unprecedented heights.
