About The Shaw Academy (now Upskillist)

The Shaw Academy has undergone a significant transformation, rebranding as Upskillist to better reflect its modern approach to online education. Our core mission remains unchanged: to provide accessible, affordable, and high-quality learning experiences that empower individuals globally. We are dedicated to crushing the limits of traditional learning, offering a dynamic platform where students can acquire practical skills and gain industry-recognised certifications.

Our Evolution and Commitment

Since our inception, we have served millions of students, with a notable surge in uptake during the Covid-19 pandemic. This growth led to an expansion of our course offerings and a strategic re-evaluation, culminating in our rebrand to Upskillist in 2021. This evolution signifies our commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring our platform and content are always at the forefront of online learning.

Diverse Online Course Portfolio

Upskillist offers an extensive range of online courses across various faculties. Whether you're interested in creative fields like photography and design, professional development in business, or personal enrichment in nutrition, we have a course for you. Our curriculum also includes vital soft skills and European language courses, all designed to be engaging and results-focused. Students can choose from scheduled classes or on-demand content, providing ultimate flexibility.

Industry-Recognised Certifications

A key differentiator for Upskillist is the value of our certifications. We partner with reputable institutions like Austin Peay State University (APSU) in Tennessee, USA, to certify our courses, providing students with a recognised certificate of completion. Additionally, our diplomas are formally certified by CPD (Continuing Professional Development), ensuring that your acquired skills and qualifications remain current and valued across industries. These accreditations underscore the quality and academic rigour of our offerings.
