Tribal offers new CPD Services for FE providers -

Tribal helps colleges to meet the 2007 continuing professional development requirements

[ClickPress, Tue Dec 12 2006] Many new challenges face staff in colleges across the UK, and Tribal is rising to meet them. Tribal is well known for delivering high quality continuing professional development (CPD) to all staff in the learning and skills sector and the in-depth knowledge and experience of its staff means it is ideally placed to support providers as they face new demands and higher expectations.

From 2007 all teaching staff in further education will need to undertake and evidence 30 hours of CPD each year. However, achieving this through the traditional route of attending national training courses may prove prohibitively expensive and time-consuming for many organisations. Tribal’s in-house, value-for-money service offers tailored training packages for individuals, teams or whole organisations, and is delivered direct to providers by experienced and well-qualified trainers from the FE sector.

Mary Jacob, Training Director at Tribal, adds, “We have listened carefully to our clients, and enhanced our services to help individuals and organisations raise their game on the journey to excellence. We especially welcome working in partnership with colleges to create a bespoke CPD framework that provides all staff with a professional development portfolio and which supports organisation level improvement or culture change. ”

Tribal has an excellent track record in providing a wide range of high quality training for Governors, senior leaders, managers at all levels, teachers, trainers, curriculum and business support staff, and is a leading provider of development services and training to the public sector.
