The Avenue Learning Centre: Your Gateway to Professional Excellence

The Avenue Learning Centre is the hub for all the comprehensive learning resources offered by the Neil Thompson Academy. We provide flexible, expert-led professional development that’s grounded in real-world practice – serving both individual professionals and organisations across social work, social care, leadership and people management.

The Avenue subscription service

Access our extensive library of over 60 professionally designed courses covering essential topics for personal and professional development. Individual subscriptions cost less than £2 per course – exceptional value for professionals committed to continuous growth.

For organisations, our corporate subscriptions provide unlimited access for up to 300 staff members from just £3,000 + VAT. That’s less than many organisations spend on a single day’s external training, yet it delivers year-round development opportunities for your entire team.

  • Leading for Success – a complete framework for developing effective leadership capabilities
  • System3V – our innovative approach to systematic professional development based on converting vicious circles into virtuous ones
  • The Social Work Finishing School – bridging the gap between academic preparation and confident professional practice
