For awarding organisations & EPAOs

We don't touch the assessment.
We build what comes before it.

A youth-built platform delivering financial literacy, employability, confidence and resilience, and online safety to 16–24s. We work on the formative side — practice, reflection and distance travelled, long before anyone is judged against a standard.

Where we sit

One line divides your work from ours.

Formative

Ours — practice and honest reflection

Money, work-readiness, confidence, resilience and life online, built through real scenarios and a reflection prompt on every module. No grades. No gatekeeping.

Practice/Reflection/Distance travelled/Readiness

Summative

Yours — competence, assessed and verified

Knowledge, skills and behaviours against a standard. Rigorous, quality-assured, and rightly the thing your name sits on.

Nothing we produce is a judgement, a grade, or evidence that competes with yours. It is the bit that decides whether a learner stays the course and turns up ready — which is where most withdrawals are really lost.

Inside the platform

Not a course. A complete formative layer.

Self-paced and interactive, with a personal AI coach and a reflection prompt closing every module. Formative by design — it runs alongside a qualification, never instead of it.

Four curricula
01

Financial Literacy

Budgeting, payslips and tax, banking, debt and credit, renting, and managing money in work.

02

Employability

CV writing, interview preparation, workplace communication, professional behaviour and progression.

03

Confidence & Resilience

Emotional regulation, growth mindset, handling setbacks and everyday wellbeing.

04

Online Safety

Digital footprint, privacy, scams and fraud, misinformation and safe online behaviour.

What we're exploring

Three shapes a partnership could take.

Honest conversations, not a fixed package. Tell us which is closest and we'll build the detail around it.

01

An offer to your centres

Network-wide

Make Fledglings available across your centre network as a value-add alongside your qualifications. Centres get wrap-around they can't easily build; you get a differentiator at renewal.

02

Retention and readiness

Completion

Aimed at learners at risk of not completing. Confidence and money worries end more programmes than content difficulty ever does — and they surface in reflections first.

03

Insight and sector work

Anonymised

Anonymised reflection data on what 16–24s actually struggle with — useful for product development, sector influence and policy work.

How it works for learners

Rich at the front. Rigorous at the back.

What a learner actually moves through — and what lands on your side by the end of it.

Stage 01

They open a module on their phone

Interactive scenarios with real decisions and consequences — a scam, a workplace conflict, a first payslip. Not a video and a quiz.

Stage 02

Fledge is there between sessions

A personal AI coach, so nobody stalls quietly at eleven at night waiting for a tutor to notice on Monday.

Stage 03

Every module ends with a reflection

A low-pressure prompt in their own words. It is the earliest signal that something is going wrong, long before it becomes a withdrawal.

Stage 04

The content stays current

A Daily News Hub keeps real-world material flowing, so the learning never feels like it was written years ago.

And on your side

Engagement and distance travelled, in one place

Who is engaging, where reflections are pointing, and how far each learner has moved. A temperature check, not surveillance — and learners know exactly what is shared.

All of it is self-paced and formative — it produces no grades and touches no assessment decision. It simply means more of your learners arrive at the standard ready to meet it.

Have a proper look while you're here.

The story is worth two minutes: this was built by a current apprentice, with apprentices, graduates and recent school leavers — which is why it lands with the people using it.

You keep the judgement. We'll do the growing.

We'd rather hear the objection than the polite yes. If formative wrap-around is something your centres keep asking for — or something you've tried and parked — that's the conversation we want.
