Recognition and accreditation of learning

All course organisers are able to offer a certificate of attendance to participants who attend professional development activities.

Many of the courses listed in the programme can lead to a formal qualification. Information about the type and level of the qualification is given in the course description.

It is now also possible for all staff to use their professional development activities to gain credit points with London Metropolitan University, by carrying out a Practitioners Research module. The credits can be used towards an additional professional or academic qualification at undergraduate, postgraduate or master's level.

Participants need to have completed at least 5 days or equivalent - totalling 30 hours of professional development - in any area. This can be a mix of full day or twilight sessions, undertaken at your school, the Barnsbury Centre, a university or any other provider.

They then undertake 3 twilight sessions with London Metropolitan staff who will guide through the process of creating a small-scale research project focused on an aspect of your practice that is of real interest to you.

Participants then write up their project – with support from university staff.

The cost - CEA@Islington has negotiated special rates

Registering for the module costs £100 for study at undergraduate level, and £185 for post-graduate level.

If you are interested in doing a Practitioners Research module, contact the CPD Office for details of dates of the next set of twilight sessions and how to make your application.
