Continuing Professional Development CPD

Welcome

Advanced Professional Studies

The School of Education provides a portfolio of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programmes for school teachers.

These have recently been re-structured to meet both current and emerging needs associated with the profession and to reflect the increasing importance being attached nationally to CPD and its positive impact on professional practice.

The School of Education’s CPD provision is located within an overall Advanced Professional Studies framework. This framework offers awards at Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma and Master of Education level.

Within the Advanced Professional Studies framework there are now 5 named pathways including the School's innovative Chartered Teacher programme which is delivered wholly online using the University's interactive e-learning environment, ‘Blackboard’ .

Other CPD interventions are available for delivery on campus or at a convenient venue within local education authority areas. Please contact us for more details.
