Loved by schools & educators.
When it comes to delivering professional development, you need to provide them with time in the department to plan and complete their training. But with The National College, we can send our staff home to spend time with their families, and they can complete their assigned CPD at home. That’s great for us from a staff wellbeing perspective too.

The best thing about The National College is that we can upskill our teachers, teaching assistants, admin staff and just the whole school workforce. It’s such an easy process to make sure that everyone has completed what they need to. You can download certificates, and if you haven’t completed your CPD, you will receive an email reminder.

Member Case Study
Living on an island like Jersey, for our staff to attend face-to-face training in the UK is very expensive. The National College allows us to give our staff access to high-quality professional development, without having to spend thousands of pounds getting them to the UK and paying for hotels and transport.

The biggest benefit is that we can ensure that all staff are up to speed with the latest updates and news in education. That’s been really good. It just offers a different dimension, so that it’s not just our team up on stage presenting the information. It gives staff the option to access professional development in their own time and revisit if they need to.
