Why the Tech Academy?

In an environment of sustained cyber threats and evolving compliance demands, the role of the IT professional has shifted from operational support to strategic leadership. Our academy provides the targeted training necessary to navigate this complex domain, enabling you to build and maintain a secure, efficient, and resilient digital ecosystem for your school. We believe in empowering technology leaders to move beyond reactive problem-solving and become architects of your institution's digital future.

The traditional model of one-off training is no longer sufficient to address the challenges facing school IT departments. A continuous approach to upskilling is a strategic imperative for institutional resilience and success.

Key benefits

Staying ahead of evolving threats: Cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated, with AI-driven phishing and social engineering campaigns targeting staff. Regular training ensures your team can identify and mitigate these advanced threats before they cause a breach.
Ensuring robust compliance: Data protection regulations like GDPR are not static. Continuous learning keeps your team informed of changes, ensuring school policies and technical controls remain compliant and auditable.
Improving operational efficiency: A well-trained team operates more effectively. Upskilling reduces errors, streamlines processes, and frees up valuable time for your IT department to focus on strategic improvements rather than constant troubleshooting.
Maximising technology investments: Your school invests significantly in its EdTech platforms. Proper training ensures these systems are configured securely, integrated correctly, and utilised to their full potential, delivering a greater return on investment.

“The team at 9ine have been instrumental in supporting us in our journey toward stronger data privacy controls and a better cybersecurity posture. Their materials are thorough, precise, and easy to use, all at the same time. We've benefited greatly, both as an IT team and also as a wider organisation, having access to the 9ine team and their expertise. What really makes a difference is that 9ine understands the nuance of international schools in a way that other out-of-the-box cybersecurity and data privacy consultancies do not. Highly recommended.”

Greg Clinton

American International School Chennai, Director of Technology

“We began to work with 9ine for our Digital Privacy Management. We quickly expanded to their Cybersecurity services due to their professionalism, especially when such a wide range of aspects can benefit from each other. The different teams are always aware of what’s happening, and we benefit significantly, whether at a board level or on a very granular “under the hood” scale.”

Yoann Saludes

Marymount International School Paris, IT Director

“They felt like an extension of our IT support team for the time they were with us and were never judgemental on the approach we take with our systems and security. I’d have no concerns about recommending them (and using their services) again in the future.”

Mike Ward

The Dean Trust, Head of IT
