Why CoSector

As a university we are able to offer exceptional value for money at the same time as providing sector leading levels of reliability, performance and expertise

A future-facing offering with flexibility and choice built in

The market for education is evolving rapidly. There are changes coming down the line such as microcredentials and the lifelong learning entitlement. Artificial intelligence is opening up new possibilities when it comes to student support and content creation. At the same time the ed tech market is evolving rapidly to keep up whilst existing legacy systems struggle to cope with customer needs which differ significantly from those associated with the traditional degree model. We ensure that our offering offers institutions the opportunity to easily flex and experiment without resorting to expensive technology procurement or migration programmes.

Our key operating principles

Tech agonistic

We use our expertise to constantly evaluate developments in the marketplace with reference to customer needs.

Flexible

We put our customers needs first by providing flexibility both in how you work with us and the technologies you use. If you just want to change a deployment or want to migrate to a whole new LMS, we will accommodate it.

Dependable

The systems and service we provide have reliability at their core. Our relationships are built on trust and putting the customer first.

Expert

We invest to keep you relevant by recruiting our teams from within the sector and backed up by our ecosystem of partners.

“When we needed to find external support for our existing Moodle service, CoSector came highly recommended to us.  From initial contact, through onboarding of our system and onward into regular support, they have always communicated effectively, planned technical work around our requirements and responded quickly to queries. 

The reliable service they provide has given confidence to the team using the Moodle and allows them to run their programmes effectively, safe in the knowledge any technical issues will be dealt with efficiently.” 

Alun Carter, IT Business Partner, Newcastle University
