Give yourself a head start with an AbleLearn Launchpad. It's designed to prepare beginners for a new subject and help them get over the learning curve.
Launching soon. Join for early access.
The Launchpad effect
See how your confidence will build.
In a study of 221 online courses, the median completion rate was just 12.6%.
Jordan, 2015 ↗Why do so many people fall behind?
In another survey, 61% of students said they did not feel fully prepared for university-style learning.
FutureLearn, 2014 ↗Too often, courses start teaching before beginners have been properly prepared for what comes next.
Of every 100 people who start an online course, about 13 finish.
The learning curve
Interest is fragile at the beginning. One course that moves too fast, one concept that is never properly explained, and curiosity quickly turns into confusion.
Most courses start where they think you should be, not where you are.
Everything a beginner needs to know. Nothing they don’t.
“8 months of study in a 2 hour bootcamp.”
Fun, interactive lessons built for beginners. Introducing big ideas and terminology gradually.
01
Follow videos, lectures and conversations without the beginner confusion.
02
Connect new information to foundations you already understand, instead of treating every new idea as something separate.
03
Know what you understand, what still needs work, what to learn next and whether the subject is genuinely right for you.
You will understand enough to speak with confidence, ask better questions and stop feeling one step behind.

The project
It starts with one belief
People have far more potential than they ever get the chance to discover.
Too many people give up on something they could have been good at because nobody prepared them properly at the beginning. AbleLearn is being built to change that.
We take a first-principles approach to learning: identify what matters, remove what does not, and build the foundations first with the help of people who know the field.
The goal is simple: help more people discover what they are capable of, give them the greatest chance of success and stop them wasting years before realising something was never right for them.
