Part of the Be-a Education family

In November of 2013, a single question was asked: ‘What do you want to learn?’

Planet Mark

From there, a vision was born of comprehensive, high-quality, and affordable online course availability. The name behind that vision was New Skills Academy.

When it comes to online schools, there are plenty, but at New Skills Academy we distinguish ourselves amongst the competition with our dedication to your long-term goals.

Our expertly designed CPD-Certified courses, detailed lesson plans and student testimonials all attest to the fact that we take great pride in our course offerings and provide only the best for our students.

All our courses have been certified by organisations such as CPD, RoSPA and CME and our library covers everything from personal and professional development to IT skills and lifestyle.

Members: New Skills Academy offers all Herts Chamber members 70% discount on all 1400+ courses. To claim/find out more about this benefit, please visit your profile in the Members Area.

Planet Mark is an internationally recognised sustainability certification recognising continuous progress, encouraging action, and building an empowered community of like-minded individuals. It’s awarded to businesses, properties and developments that are committed to reducing their carbon emissions.

Planet Mark enables organisations and their people to positively transform society, the environment and the economy through measurement of their carbon and social data, using a unique threestep process: Measure, Engage and Communicate.

As a result of rigorous measurement, a commitment to improvement and engaging their stakeholders in the process, Planet Mark members can communicate their progress with confidence, transparency and enthusiasm.

Planet Mark’s Zero Carbon Solutions, aligned with the SBTi’s global Net-Zero Standard, also helps businesses to reach net-zero carbon. No matter what stage in your net-zero journey you are on, from committing to a target to creating the action plan needed to get there, Planet Mark can support.

In 2021, Planet Mark embarked on the Zero Carbon Tour, taking a fully electric coach (Carbon Battle Bus) across 45 towns and cities in the UK to demonstrate the need for a net-zero transition. On the road to COP26, Planet Mark illustrated the phenomenal array of actions the business community is taking to play a part in creating a sustainable zero carbon future.

As members of the Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce we are pleased to offer all Herts Chamber members a 10% discount on their first year of Business or Property Certification, or for the first Development Certification delivered.
