Richard is a pioneer in online learning, developing courses before the Internet and connections could stream them (they used to get sent out on CD-ROM). Alongside the consultancy service that The Root of It offered in its early days, Richard very quickly recognised the need for Internet-based resources, training and continuing professional development opportunities for schools and for early years settings. His first online portal was called The Root of It Vine and offered people working in education online resources in a world where this was not available generally. Consistently since late 2013, Richard’s companies have continuously provided online training, CPD and resources. From online healthy lifestyle courses to courses to help people get work, Richard has developed a style of online content that is engaging and consistently receives as much positive feedback as in person courses.
