Headstart Pro is our dedicated educational multimedia software for further education for GSCE, A level, DiDA and on to degree level projects in design and multimedia.

Capable of creating high-quality interactive multimedia faster than any other product, pupils will spend less time learning to use a particular piece of software and more time learning transferable skills of design and development.

Headstart Pro provides all the functionality of our professional product Opus Pro, including OpusScript and support for databases. We have, however, removed system commands which might cause problems beyond the pupil's program if used inappropriately.  Unlike other software companies which force existing versions to fit into education, Headstart Pro includes functions specifically designed to assist teachers and mentors and to facilitate the highest grades at GSCE, A2 level & specialised qualifications such as DiDA.

Projects can be emailed for review within the program. Mentors and teachers can make comments directly on the work and the comments themselves can be distributed via email. Feedback and monitoring facilities are provided built-in - particularly useful for students on the DiDA course. A separate program is provided for reviewing publications and can be freely distributed to colleagues.
