Why Academia for subscriptions

You’re in full control

Academia’s subscription model offers distinct advantages over traditional IT procurement methods. With our flexible subscription agreement, you’re in full control of how long you want to spread your payments – either one, two or three years.

Not just hardware

Yes, we can provide subscription services for your hardware but we can also include services, software and accessories.

Why a subscription model

Subscription allows you to take control of budget constraints and
competing priorities with a more streamlined and smarter approach.

iPad at Heronsgate Primary School

Heronsgate is set across two sites in South East London
and has been using iPad in the classroom for over 10 years.

We fund our 1:1 programme through leasing the iPad. We pay for them with rental payments over the three years, which means we can spread that cost and we know how much it's going to cost every year as we move forwards. It means when it comes to refreshing the devices it's already kind of built into the budget and the programme can keep going

Lease-based subscriptions

In conjunction with our partner, Edutech

Leasing is a great way for educational institutions to spread the cost of their investment for Apple technology by making quarterly or annual payments over a 1, 2, 3 or 4 year period. If required, you can also request voluntary parent contributions.

With leasing, the financial liability always remains with your school/college or university.

Up-to-date Apple technology

At the end of the lease, you have the option to refresh your Apple technology and enter into a new agreement. This means that you can take advantage of the most up-to-date features, services and support

Insurance

Insurance is normally required and Academia can discuss the option but please note that an insurance product cannot be added onto the lease.

Lease terms

You can lease your technology over 1, 2, 3 or 4 years by making payments quarterly or annually.
