Training & Development

We understand the value of effective continuous professional development (CPD) in maintaining and improving professional practice and learner experience. Our experience in accrediting learning has enabled us to develop a number of training courses to support and develop practitioners in the field.

Training courses range from accredited training for tutors, internal verifiers and Quality Managers to general professional development; and from centre specific support to wider practitioner forums.

If you are looking to achieve Approved Internal Verifier Status (AIVS) please first complete our short survey which will enable you to identify your ideal training route.

Training courses are scheduled throughout the year at locations around the region.  Search the training calendar for a course near you or click on one of the areas of training.

For a full calendar of events such as standardisation events or one off events as well as training, please browse the events calendar which lists all events scheduled by date.
