Starbuck Academy · For organisations
Organisation Learning Academy
Your own academy, built from ours
Choose any of our hubs, programmes and masterclasses, and we bring them together into one academy with your organisation’s name on it. One login for your people, one price per person. It works whether you have a full people team or no L&D function at all: we set it up with you, then reminders, manager guides and simple reporting keep people moving.

Why organisations choose it
A learning partner, not just a content library
Big content libraries give people thousands of videos and leave them to it. Organisations need fewer, better things: the right programmes for their people, a reminder at the right moment, a manager who follows up, and expert support when it matters.
You choose what goes in
Pick any of our hubs, programmes and masterclasses for each group, and swap them as your needs change.
Coaching support built in
Starbuck Coach for everyday questions, plus access to an ICF-credentialed coaching team when people need a real conversation.
Managers bring it to life
Fortnightly conversation guides so what people learn shows up in one-to-ones, team huddles and on the shop floor.
Works with your people team, or without one
If you have an L&D or people team, they get a ready platform to run. If you do not, we set it up with you. Either way, welcome, weekly reminder, completion and renewal emails keep people moving.
Evidence for the board
Diagnostics before and after, progress by team, and a quarterly summary you can drop straight into a board paper.
Yours, in your language
Your organisation’s name on the academy, with workbooks, PDFs and certificates available in other languages.
One academy, three views
Everyone knows what to do next
The academy works because each person has a clear job: learners learn a little each week, managers follow up, and one person keeps an eye on the whole picture.

Questions
Frequently asked
How much time does it take each week?
Around 15 minutes for learners. Lessons are short and work on a phone, so people can learn between shifts or at their desk.
Do we need an L&D team to run it?
No. If you have a people or L&D team, they can run it with our support. If you do not, we set it up with you, with a named contact at Starbuck & Associates, and your people lead or founder only needs a few minutes a month.
Can we change what is in our academy?
Yes. Your academy is built from the hubs, programmes and masterclasses you choose, and you can swap them as your needs change.
Can managers see their team’s progress?
Yes. Managers can see progress for their own team, and they receive conversation guides linked to what the team has been learning.
What happens when we grow?
Add licences at any time. When you move into a new band, your price per person comes down at renewal.
Is the learning accredited?
Each pathway shows estimated learning hours and ends with a Starbuck & Associates certificate of completion.
