Trial Support

We provide tailored 'Getting Started' sessions for all new trialling schools. These sessions are conducted by Adalet, a member of our friendly team. Once you have signed up for your trial, we recommend you schedule your 30-minute session with Adalet via this link.

During your free trial, we also provide phone support (8 am - 4:30 pm AEST) and email support (6 am - 5 pm AEST) from our ANZ-based team, Monday - Friday. They'll be happy to assist you in navigating our program and resources.

Our online help centre is also accessible 24/7 for helpful tips and frequently asked questions.

From Trial to Subscriber

After a trial period, many schools subscribe to Essential Assessment. By subscribing, all student information, progress and data from the trial can be retained, making the transition seamless for both teachers and students.
