  • I have thoroughly enjoyed undertaking this training with Martha. It has been a brilliant CPD experience.

    Martha is super knowledgeable, she’s made the sessions really interactive and interesting, and her background in Student Data has really helped cement my understanding of how I can use Power BI in my role going forward.

Sparkline Academy exists to fill that gap. We offer training, webinars, and learning resources designed specifically for data and information professionals in higher and further education – the people responsible for returns, compliance, governance, and increasingly, AI policy. Our training is practical by design. We are not interested in theory for its own sake. We care about what you can do differently on Monday morning.

Education institutions are sitting on more data than ever, with more regulation to navigate and more pressure on the people managing it. The missing piece is usually not better tools or bigger teams. It’s confidence.
