Thomas Gelmi - Executive Coach & Leadership Develpment

“We are so grateful to Ian for all his assistance in helping us launch our Down Syndrome Academy through Thinkific. Prior to this, we had a wealth of resources to help people support individuals with Down syndrome, but no way to package them by topic and distribute them in a way that maximizes learning for a wide audience. Now we have an awesome learning platform which has been enthusiastically embraced by our community - and big plans to expand it in the future. Thank you, Ian, this would not have happened without you!”

Glen Hoos, Down Syndrome Research Foundation

“"Ian is a great communicator and very reliable developer to work with. I recently worked with him to change our library in thinkific and the results have been amazing. Ian was always readily available if we had any questions and was always cross checking to make sure we wouldn't run into any issues when we were to go live with our new library. I would highly recommend working with Ian for any online developments that you may need. ”

Fiona Ryan, Clinic Accelerator

“Ian's wealth of knowledge and practical advice were invaluable to me as I built and launched my course on Thinkific. He was able to help with everything from course structure and content to production, editing, and engaging with students. I really appreciated his help and expert guidance, and would highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about building a high quality course online.”

Laura Fredericks - Founder & Growth Marketing Strategist

“Ian assisted me in setting up and structuring my first course on the Thinkific platform. I found him to be a great mentor who is generous with his knowledge and time which resulted in me completing my course with no problems.”

Rohan Musa - Director & Strategic Business Advisor

“Ian was so generous with his time and expertise and guided us through the process of setting up a specific student transition website. The feedback we received from our new intake of pupils and their families was all really positive. Although you can never replace the experience of an actual visit we were able to offer video clips of their Pastoral leaders and form tutors, detailed information, quizzes, answer lots of questions and even set some Summer 'homework' on the website! ”

Sue Fielding - Mount Carmel High School

About

Hi, I'm Ian Richardson.
I created Course Scale Up because I know what it takes to scale an online course business

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.
