Empowering Non-Profits & Registered Charities

Online Course Building and Learning Community Development for Disability and Additional Needs Sectors Around the Globe

We're not just experts in online learning; we're deeply invested in making a difference in the lives of those with disabilities and additional needs. Our commitment stems from a very personal place – our own journey as parents of a wonderful son with Down's Syndrome.

This experience has given us first-hand insight into the critical need for accessible and inclusive education and drives us to empower NGOs and charities to take their knowledge to a global audience.

About

Hi, I'm Ian Richardson.
I created Course Scale Up because I know the impact of education for all.

For over ten years, our commitment has extended beyond traditional education to include non-profits, especially those aiding individuals with disabilities. Our journey in enhancing online learning gained personal significance with the birth of my son, Arran, who has Down Syndrome. This experience highlighted the need for accessible, high-quality training for professionals in this sector globally.

In 2019, we launched SchudioTV and The Ability Bridge on the Thinkific platform, significantly impacting the non-profit sector. These initiatives have united over 50,000 schools, educators, and parents, all focused on supporting those with special educational needs and disabilities. Our goal is to empower these organisations through top-tier web services and software solutions, ensuring that vital training and resources are accessible and impactful.

Our role extends to being your strategic partner, leveraging our expertise in Thinkific and a proven track record to elevate online learning in the non-profit sector, with a particular passion to support those with additional needs.

Signature

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

Serena Brock - Regenerative Practices of America

"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! ”
