Ascendo

Ascendo is a corporate training theme in cool white, slate and electric teal. Glass dashboard cards with bar charts and meters drawn in CSS, outcome bento tiles, a client marquee set in type, case studies with headline metrics, an in-company versus open course comparison and a quote request form make it a site HR and procurement teams take seriously.

Built on the Symelo education foundation and the Symelo Theme Kit, so it needs no plugins:

• Programmes with prices per participant or "in-company on request", curricula, open dates with seats, outcomes, trainers, reviews, questions and venue maps.
• A programme finder and catalog filters (topic, level, format, sort), topic and level archives, a trainer directory with credentials.
• Quote request, training needs call, contact and newsletter forms. Messages are stored under Messages in wp-admin and emailed to you.
• Case studies: posts in a "Case studies" category show their client, headline metric and what it measures (fields in the editor's custom fields, or the demo content).
• Light and dark schemes (Boardroom), with a switch in the header, and four style variations: Clarity, Boardroom, Forest and Sunrise.
• Galleries with masonry and carousel styles and a lightbox, featured video for programmes and posts, a background video hero, tasteful motion that respects reduced-motion settings.
• 30+ patterns: five heroes (dashboard, Train your team with a quote form, background video, programme finder, case study), outcomes bento, client marquee, comparison, process, upcoming dates, trainers, reviews, compliance FAQ, CTA, newsletter, venues gallery, video, and full pages for Home, About, Contact, In-company training and Case studies.
• Appearance → Import demo installs a complete corporate training company: nine programmes, four trainers, three case studies and the pages.

Ascendo works best with the free Secure Custom Fields plugin (the theme offers to install it) for editing programme prices, curricula, dates and trainer profiles.
