Japan Pilot Programme

Owned in the UK, Built and Proven in Japan

NEXTAID LTD holds the intellectual property. Development and first-hand validation are carried out in Japan by CODEAID, with providers who cannot afford a pilot that goes wrong. What survives that, we license and supply internationally.

Current Pilot Domains

◆

Small Education Providers

Schools, language schools and training providers with fewer than 1,000 users, supported in Japan by CODEAID

◆

Children's Media Programmes

News and radio produced with the Next Generation Children's Education Association, on air since 2019

◆

Training Video Production

Automated curriculum-to-video pipeline for education businesses

Engineering Progress

Our Vision

Small Providers Deserve
Systems That Fit.

Most education software is priced and shaped for large institutions. We build for the organisations underneath them, and prove it in their own programmes before licensing it out.

01

Built for the Smallest Scale

Designed for organisations with no IT department, at a running cost they can carry year after year

02

Proven in Real Programmes

Every system runs in actual education and media programmes in Japan before it is offered anywhere else

03

Owned in the UK

The intellectual property sits with NEXTAID LTD, so partners can carry it into their own market

For Partners

Who We Work With

Our platform is built for organisations that deliver training, education, and professional development at scale.

Education Companies

Tutoring centres, language schools, certification bodies

Training Providers

Corporate training, onboarding, compliance education

Cultural & Community Organisations

Museums, media projects and community programmes

Technology Partners

Platforms looking to carry these systems under their own brand

Licensing & Partners

We hold the IP. You can carry it into your market.

NEXTAID LTD owns the intellectual property. Development and validation happen in Japan. Three routes are open, and we would rather tell you which one fits than sell you the wrong one.

Implementation partners

Local providers who deliver and support our systems in their own market.

What you get

  • ▸The product, the deployment path, and the training that goes with it
  • ▸Our written answers to the supplier due diligence questions your customers will ask
  • ▸Direct access to the team that built it, in Japan

What we ask

  • ▸You carry the customer relationship and first-line support
  • ▸You tell us what breaks, in enough detail that we can fix it
  • ▸You do not claim approval by a regulator that runs no approval scheme

Resellers

Organisations with an existing route to small training and education providers.

What you get

  • ▸A product that is already built and already validated somewhere real
  • ▸Material you can put in front of a buyer without rewriting it
  • ▸A named contact, not a portal

What we ask

  • ▸You represent the state of each product accurately, including what it cannot do
  • ▸You pass unmet needs back to us. That is how the next version gets decided

OEM and white label

Platforms and publishers who want the capability under their own name.

What you get

  • ▸The engine, without our branding
  • ▸A licence scoped to your market and your sector

What we ask

  • ▸Scope agreed in writing before launch, including territory and field of use
  • ▸Attribution where a component is open source and its licence requires it

Commercial terms

Rates, territory and exclusivity are agreed case by case and are not published here. That is deliberate: we have not run enough of these to publish a number we would still stand behind in a year, and a figure we later withdraw costs more than saying this.

3 of our components are released as open source (Repo2Video, OpenBeat Collector, OpenBeat Media). Those carry their own licence, and it governs — not this page. Check the repository before you build on them.

Governance

Ask us what you would ask any supplier.

We are a supplier too, so we publish the answers instead of waiting to be asked. Where the honest answer is “not yet”, that is what it says.

Why this exists

When the ICO audited 28 edtech suppliers (published 24 June 2026), it found:

  • ▸About 70% did not recognise themselves as a controller for any of their processing
  • ▸About 70% had inadequate retention periods, or none at all
  • ▸50% had not vetted their sub-processors before appointing them
  • ▸80% had unclear accountability for data protection inside the company
ICO, Edtech examined →

Our answers

Which processing do you do as processor, and which as controller?
Split by activity, in writing, before you sign. Learner records and submissions as your processor; product telemetry as controller with the basis stated.
Can we read your processor terms before committing?
Yes. Ask and we send them, with the annexes.
What is your retention period for learner data?
Set per data category with a named trigger event, and you can set a shorter one.
Who are your sub-processors, and where do they process?
Listed on request with purpose and country, and we give notice before adding or replacing one.
Do your AI features train on our learners' work?
No. This is a contract term, not a settings toggle.
Have you tested against WCAG 2.2 AA?
Not yet independently. When we have, the report and the known issues go here with dates.
Do you hold Cyber Essentials?
Not yet. Cyber Essentials is optional for schools and contractually required for colleges, so treat this as evidence rather than a legal test — and treat our answer as the current fact.
