Build with Teachers. Signal Trust. Stand out.
TeacherVoice Certified (TVC) is an annual accreditation recognising education products and services that meaningfully engage teachers in their development and design.
In a crowded education market, it’s not enough to say your product works. You need to show it’s shaped by real classroom experience.
TVC confirms that teachers have been meaningfully engaged at key stages of a product or service’s development.
It signals that your product:
- Reflects real teacher needs
- Has been tested or shaped by educators
Aligns with classroom realities
This isn’t just a badge, it’s proof of how you build.
Who is TVC for?

(Optional additional cost depending on needs)
Step 3
Assessment against the TVC framework
Your engagement is reviewed against clear, structured criteria.
Step 4
Certification & recognition
Bronze, Silver, or Gold level.
What each certification level means
TeacherVoice Certification recognises organisations that demonstrate a genuine commitment to involving teachers in the design and improvement of their products and services.
Each certification level reflects the depth and quality of that engagement, from organisations that have begun listening to teachers, to those that have embedded educators as trusted partners throughout their development process.
The higher the certification level, the greater the evidence that teacher voices have shaped decisions, ensuring solutions are grounded in authentic classroom experience.
A Bronze TeacherVoice Certification recognises organisations that have taken meaningful steps to involve teachers in shaping their products or services. It demonstrates a clear commitment to listening to educators and ensuring products are informed by real classroom needs.
A Silver TeacherVoice Certification recognises organisations that have embedded teacher engagement throughout product development. Teachers have played an active role in refining and improving the offering, with clear evidence that their feedback has influenced key decisions.
A Gold TeacherVoice Certification is awarded to organisations that place teachers at the heart of innovation. Educators are trusted partners throughout the product lifecycle, ensuring solutions are shaped by authentic classroom expertise and a culture of continuous collaboration.
