Impact Academy is Hivve’s CPD-accredited e-learning platform, designed to help individuals and teams develop practical skills in impact measurement, reporting and assessment. Whether you’re new to impact practice or strengthening existing knowledge, it provides flexible, expert-led learning that fits around your work.

Built on 15+ years of impact practice
Impact Academy consists of four self-paced modules covering the key stages of impact measurement and reporting. Each combines practical learning, real-world examples, exercises and knowledge checks to help your team apply what they learn in practice.
Learners complete a quiz at the end of each module and receive an individual CPD-accredited certificate. Modules can be taken individually or as a complete learning pathway.
Learn when it suits your team — no fixed schedules or cohorts.
A quiz at the end of every module confirms understanding.
Four practical courses, built around real challenges and grounded in Hivve’s 15+ years of field experience. Take one, or save with the complete four-module pathway.
Capture, verify, and report impact evidence that holds up to scrutiny – backed by our development of the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings methodology.
Complete the full learning pathway with all four modules in a single package — at a discounted price.
Impact Academy is designed for anyone responsible for understanding, measuring or reporting impact — and is particularly valuable for organisations preparing for research assessment or strengthening capability across multiple teams.
Academy is one of three integrated tools in the Hivve platform — aligned to the same methodology and frameworks, so what your team learns directly strengthens how they work.
Structure your framework, collect evidence from your team, and build an auditable record of your impact work.
Pass your evidence for peer review. Structured assessment with commentary, scoring, and a consolidated feedback report.
Your team builds genuine impact knowledge alongside their practice — embedded in your daily workflow.

Some teams benefit from learning alongside a Hivve impact consultant — working through real challenges in a structured workshop rather than self-paced modules. Our Capability & Training advisory service offers exactly that, tailored to your context and goals.
