Let's Partner

Who We Are

Flipp.ED was founded on the premise that the education sector will gradually transform itself out of necessity to improve learner outcomes, scale equitable global access and become more interconnected with the workforce and labor markets. The transformation will require a series of “flips” across all parts of the ecosystem.

Institutions will “flip” focus from Degrees to Alternative credentials
Learning will “flip” from classroom only to any time, any place, any pace
Payment models will “flip” from Govt. supported to self-pay, employer-pay and deferred-pay
Learner preferences will “flip” from learn-to-earn to earn-to-learn
Learning modalities will ”flip” from live in-person to blended
