What colleges are saying

Hear from enrichment teams, senior leaders, and coordinators across UK Further Education.

โ€œSpark transformed how we prepare for Ofsted. Our evidence packs used to take weeks to compile. Now they are generated in minutes with full EIF mapping. The inspectors were genuinely impressed.โ€

Sarah Mitchell

VP Student Experience, Bridgewater College

โ€œThe QR scanning is brilliant. Students tap their phones on entry and attendance records land straight in the dashboard. We went from paper registers to real-time data overnight.โ€

James Okafor

Enrichment Coordinator, Lakeside Sixth Form

โ€œThe ROI case was easy to make. We saved over 12 hours per week on admin across the enrichment team and saw a 34% increase in event participation within one term.โ€

Principal, Northgate College Group
