Partnership Enquiries

DEWALT Academy works with a select number of education partners each year to ensure we deliver meaningful support and high-quality learning experiences.

As a result, new partnerships are limited annually.

If we are unable to onboard your institution immediately, we will maintain contact and explore future opportunities as the programme expands.
