Academics in Education are highly qualified and respected both in the UK and internationally for their specialist knowledge of all aspects of the teaching profession. Most also have hands-on experience as teachers, deputy head teachers, heads of departments, inspectors and advisers. This combination of classroom experience and creative research enables us to devise programmes that respond to and reflect changes in teaching practices.

We have also provided Continuing Professional Development for teachers in Merseyside and the North West for more than twenty-five years. Our CPD programmes give experienced teachers, lecturers and others working in education and training the opportunity to develop and reflect on professional practice enhancing job satisfaction and improving the learning and achievement of pupils and students.
