⦁ Specialist Advice and Consultancy on Microsoft Licensing, systems integration and design

I am extremely proud to lead a dedicated team that continues to place our ‘Education First, Education Only’ approach at the heart of everything we do. I firmly believe that the values and approach of Class Technology compliments the objectives, aims and ambitions of all our schools, Academy’s, Colleges and MAT’s, whilst recognising and understanding their uniqueness and myriad requirements.
We are much more than just another IT company, we forge genuine partnerships that provide a range of professional services that help senior leaders and stakeholders make strategic long-term decisions regarding their IT and services. Our approach is to embark on these journeys together in partnership, implementing change, overcoming barriers and meeting requirements.

CTS have provided our IT MAT with an excellent value for money service. They have listened to and actioned our concerns and improved areas of our schools which were under performing especially from a human resource perspective. Additional their IT training and strategic planning support has also helped shape our vision for the next few years and they have embedded comprehensive communication systems which have freed up valuable time for our SLT teams.

Join the team
Here at Class Technology we’re always looking for the right people to join our team.
Whether you’re looking for an engineering, technician or customer helpdesk role, there are many opportunities to shine here.
I joined CTS as an apprentice straight from college, I was welcomed by the staff with open arms and was trained with senior and roaming engineers. During this time, I had an opportunity to showcase what I had learnt in an onsite environment working alongside the network manager to deliver the best service as well as learning as I go. I spent 6 months onsite until the senior team saw my potential and received a promotion to a Technical engineer.
