We understand that the current situation has been time consuming for many teachers and that Personal Development may not be at the forefront, but it is still important to develop your knowledge to enable you to continue supporting your students. Our range of high-quality courses can meet your individual CPD needs whether in a primary, secondary or further education role and at every stage of your career.

Below you will be able to find some key courses that can help you to support your students throughout their educational journey:

Summer Series 2022 webinars

We’re running a series of webinars designed to help schools and colleges understand what's being asked of them this year. This will cover how to prepare for high-stake exams alongside the contingency preparation and the tools we have available to help minimise the impact on teachers.

The Department for Education and Ofqual are clear that students entering GCSEs, AS or A levels in summer 2022 should expect to sit exams and complete any non-exam assessments in the usual way throughout the year. However, in recognition of the fact that students’ education has been disrupted by the pandemic, further adaptations have been put in for exams in 2022.

These sessions will go through these adaptations and are available in March and April.
