- Showcases, stalls and local events
Sensible next stepChoose the outcome first, then set a realistic pace.Plan learning for your group
Trust or multi-site

- Several cohorts or delivery teams
- Shared implementation expectations
- A staged or multi-site rollout

Practical learning
What learners will create
See the four practical outputs first, then follow the sample sequence to understand how learners move from curiosity to something they can explain and share.
Money decisions
Simple costs, pricing, value and profit choices a learner can explain.
A message or pitch
A structured way to communicate the idea, listen and respond to questions.
Evidence and reflection
Saved tasks and reflections that make participation and progress visible.
A sample learning sequence
A sample lesson sequence
Each stage can expand or contract around the setting. The purpose is consistent: learners make decisions and can explain what they did.

- 02DecideChoose an audience, offer, price and practical next step.
- 03MakeDevelop the idea, message and simple evidence of work.

Your learner dashboard
Track learning and progress
Your educator workspace brings learner activity, progress, assessment attempts, questions and certificates into one place—so support decisions do not begin with another spreadsheet.
Curriculum connections
Support your curriculum
Support UK curriculum learning through budgeting and money decisions, enterprise projects, numeracy, discussion and presentation. In England, these activities can supplement citizenship financial education, mathematics and spoken English; educators select the objectives and adapt the work to their nation, key stage and learners.
Evidence that stays useful: connect each session to a learning objective, collect a budget, business idea or pitch, and use quiz attempts and reflection to identify the next teaching step. Review participation, completion and demonstrated skills over time rather than relying on headline impact figures.
Course completion records participation; it does not by itself demonstrate curriculum mastery or a recognised qualification.

Delivery and safeguarding
Review the practical responsibilities behind delivery, learner evidence and safeguarding before deciding whether the licence fits your setting.
Adults manage learner access
Your setting chooses the timetable, supervision and adaptation appropriate for its learners. Nu FOCUS-led contact or delivery is never silently implied by a software licence.
Agree responsibilities before starting
Delivery should sit within your safeguarding, consent and data-protection procedures. Any separate mentoring, coaching or live support is scoped before it begins.
Examples of learner progress
Use learner work, progress, attempts, decisions, pitches and reflection to build a credible picture of participation and development.
Based in Bedford, available more widely

Educator questions
Educator membership questions
Check what membership includes, which services cost extra and how to use Starz with your group.
Send a question with your planWho is the educator licence for?+
It is designed for schools, colleges, alternative provision, youth groups and community organisations that want an adult-led route into enterprise, financial literacy, communication and future skills.
Which ages does the current learning suit?+
The wider YoungStarz and SuperStarz ecosystem is intended to serve ages 7 to 17 through age-ranged pathways. The currently published combined Starz course is labelled for ages 10 to 17, so a setting planning for younger learners should confirm the content available for its intended start date before purchasing.
What does the £199 monthly licence include?+
The core route includes 20 learner seats included, the Starz learning pathway, educator delivery guidance, session-planning support, learner tasks, evidence prompts and a route towards a showcase. Optional live delivery, mentoring, coaching and accreditation remain separate.
Can we pay monthly or annually?+
Yes. The monthly route is £199 per month. Paying for 12 months upfront is £1,990, equivalent to receiving two months free. Renewal and cancellation terms are confirmed at checkout.
What if we need more than 20 learner seats?+
The first 20 seats are included. Additional seats are currently calculated at £9 each per month, or ten monthly payments when paid annually. The page calculator shows the total before checkout.
Can we use Starz as weekly sessions or a shorter project?+
Yes. The pathway can be planned as regular sessions, an enterprise club or a focused project. The setting remains responsible for choosing a pace, supervision model and timetable appropriate for its learners.
Does the licence include mentoring, coaching or accreditation?+
Not automatically. Those are connected Nu FOCUS routes and must be explicitly included in a written proposal or purchase summary before they form part of delivery.
How are safeguarding and learner data handled?+
Educator-led use should operate within the setting’s existing safeguarding, supervision, consent and data-protection procedures. Any Nu FOCUS-led contact, mentoring or live delivery is scoped separately so responsibilities and data handling are clear before it starts.
Can one licence cover several sites?+
The calculator covers learner-seat numbers for one purchasing organisation. A trust or multi-site rollout should still use the cohort brief so implementation, account ownership and delivery responsibilities are agreed clearly.
