Who is ERA?

ERA makes it easy for teachers to enrich their teaching with audio-visual content. With an ERA Licence, your school or institution can make and access TV and radio recordings legally, giving you seamless access to high-quality educational materials. All state schools in England are licensed under the terms of a central deal between the DfE and ERA. Most private schools are also licensed.

ERA’s video streaming platform offers a wide selection of curated TV and radio programmes that can be incorporated into lessons or assigned as homework, helping to engage and inspire your students.
