Professional Development (CPD/PPD)
The Faculty offers a wide range of courses of differing lengths and levels for teachers and other educators. The programme is reviewed annually against emerging new priorities and current concerns at local, national and international level. Central to many of the courses is a belief in the importance of empowering teachers to link effectively theory, research and practice.
Participants are practitioners interested in learning more about an area of practice or policy making, usually because it is of direct professional relevance to their own work. Participants should be committed to developing and improving practice through critical reflection and systematic enquiry.
Our Courses
Each term we run a variety of different courses, both through our Faculty based programme of PPD and CPD courses and through our Partnerships with Local Authorities. It is possible for those from outside a partnership to attend a Partnership run course.
The Faculty also provides a specific programme of training and continuing professional development for counsellors and psychotherapists in the form of the accredited counsellor training programme and the Cambridge Forum for Children's Emotional Well-being.
Your Progression
Our courses are structured so that practitioners are able to develop their skills, gaining certification of the work that they have completed. There are also multiple progression routes available - with practitioners able to gain a Postgraduate Diploma, or a Masters in Education if they wish.
