guroo is for students aged 14-19 studying Functional Skills, Key Skills and Adult Literacy & Numeracy at level 1 and level 2 as part of a Vocational course or one of the new Diploma courses at either school or college. 

The award winning guroo service uses multi mode technologies with video, podcast, interactive on-line and worksheet elements based around real life learning challenges.  Students love using guroo.  It's relevant, realistic and authentic and really does engage the hard to reach student in learning.

To use any of the guroo learning content, you'll need to contact us for a login.  If you are a member of staff from a college, school or LA, and are interested in Functional or Key Skills, we'd love to give you a no obligation demonstration visit and login.  You can also request a sampler DVD, click the link below:
