Revenue is Declining. We Know Why.
When career colleges and universities struggle with student retention, failed certifications, and accreditation challenges, the problem isn't the students or getting more students—it's instructor development.

Your instructors think teaching means "standing up and talking for 45 minutes," while your students struggle to connect classroom theory with real-world application.
The Result? Students fail their coures or certification exams, drop out, graduate but can't find jobs, and your institution's reputation and revenue - suffers.
Declining Enrollment Due To Poor Student Outcomes
Students Failing Classes, Certifications or State Boards
High Attrition Rates That Threaten Accreditation
Poor job placement rates risk revenue for schools
Instructor Turnover As SMEs Don't Feel Supported
Many of these problems will not be solved by more marketing, getting more cheeks in the seats or even offering more student incentives. These challenges are attributed to the lack of instructor development - subject matter experts who know their zone of genius, but do not know how to structure a class, create a lesson, deliver content, and assess students appropriately.

Founder and Lead Instructional Support Trainer
Picture this: You're watching a once-hesitant subject matter expert light up a classroom, confidently leading discussions and connecting with students—not because they have a teaching degree, but because they were trained to teach with intention. That’s the transformation I help create every day.
I'm Sabrina, founder of Creative Cat Training & Design and creator of the ElevatED Training program. My path to instructor development wasn’t typical (fun fact: I started in education, pivoted to cybersecurity and now I focus on instructor development). But after years of building educational programs and watching students struggle with untrained instructors, I realized what truly matters: giving educators the tools to teach well—so they can positively impact learners and change lives.
