Quality & Professional Development

Professional Development

Professional Development support the organisation and its staff to meet their goals by providing development opportunities. The Group has a generous professional development offer, meaning that every member of staff is entitled to some development - regardless of role, contract type or length of service, there is something for you!

You can contact Professional Development to:

• Apply for courses for yourself (Individual Application Form) or for your Team (Group Application Form)

• Discuss an emerging need and how we can use development to support that need (at individual, department, directorate, site or college-wide level)

• Plan your development or learn more about how the College can support you to meet your goals.

Did you know… every member of staff is entitled to one free internal course per year? As long as your line manager approves, there are spaces and the course is running, you can join for free! This may be subject to a Two-Year Commitment.
