National Professional Qualifications

Our NPQ programmes provide teachers and leaders the opportunity to access high quality evidenced-based learning, training and development

We deliver the full suite of specialist and leadership NPQs in partnership with Ambition Institute. The 'bite-sized' design of the programmes allow busy classroom practitioners and leaders to develop their knowledge & skills in a flexible way. Whether you're an aspiring or current middle leader, senior leader or headteacher, we have a programme that will be the perfect fit for you.

If you're in a state-funded school, don't miss out on this free opportunity to access this nationally recognised qualification that will have a lasting impact on your practice, your school, and the children in your school community.
