Centre for Educational Consultancy and Development (CECD)

The world-class quality of our CPD is derived from the expertise of School of Education staff, particularly in the Primary sector. We have extensive experience developing programmes specialising in SEND, ICT, Leadership and Management, Coaching and Mentoring, Primary Science, Maths, NQT Training and developing skills for research in education.

We provide cutting-edge continuing professional development programmes, critically informed contract research, and innovative consultancy services in the field of education.

With our CPD programming, we also offer the option of transferring credit towards a postgraduate qualification in the School of Education (PGCert or MA in Education).

CECD maintains strong professional links within the education sector, including links with overseas governments and international school consortia. We have a long history of collaboration with other university and school partners. We are committed to developing a strong community of practitioners and researchers who aim to be agents of change.
