Tracy Horton, Student Development at the University of Warwick

11th June 2026

We have been extremely impressed not only with the SkillsForge platform itself, which has been flexibly designed to meet Warwick’s professional development needs, but also with the professionalism, service, and openness of the team throughout contracting, the launch and beyond.

Our postgraduate research students, academic staff, and event providers love the intuitive way the system works. The PGRs especially like the ability to easily self-record activities and book onto courses, and that they can evidence their professional development in a single user friendly portal. One of the real wins for us was the collaborative design of the visual device which represents development undertaken; it is seamless to users but we are aware of how much work behind the scenes this was to develop, and were appreciative of SkillsForge’s flexibility and input.

Our thanks to the SkillsForge team for this continued support and innovation!
