At Enterprise Skills, we help students stop learning passively and start thinking actively.
Through smart tools and immersive simulations, we turn lessons into experiences, giving young people the confidence, skills and mindset to make better decisions in the classroom and in life.
Too much of education still hinges on recall, repetition and theory. It’s a system that rewards memorising, not understanding. We believe learners do better when they’re engaged, challenged, and encouraged to apply what they know in practical, purposeful ways.
That’s where we come in.
We offer teachers flexible, curriculum-aligned tools and business simulations that fit straight into what you’re already teaching-raising engagement, deepening learning, and delivering stronger outcomes across the board.
We empower individuals to unlock their potential by simplifying the complexities of business.
Through immersive digital simulations and smart, supportive tools, we foster engagement, build understanding, and instil confidence in a risk-free environment.
To lead the shift from passive to active learning across the UK and beyond.
We aim to be the leading provider of business-focused simulations and teaching tools, trusted by schools, colleges, youth groups and lifelong learners to help people grow in confidence, sharpen real-world skills, and prepare for the challenges of the modern economy.
Designed to complement lessons, not replace them
Immersive, decision-based scenarios that bring theory to life
Perfect for day-to-day teaching, drop-down days, revision, and competitions
Better engagement, stronger understanding, improved results
We don’t offer lessons in a box. We build tools that give teachers control and students clarity.
We’re building a business that’s scalable, and sustainable, without ever losing sight of the value we bring to the classroom.
Over the next 5–7 years, our focus is simple:
✅ – Expand our reach
✅ – Evolve our tools
✅ – Deliver meaningful outcomes
✅ – Build lasting partnerships in education and beyond
All whilst building something that drives education forward!
