Request a CPD Session
Our CPD Sessions
Advancing Access can deliver free CPD sessions for groups of teachers or advisers in UK state schools and colleges. Sessions can be delivered in-person in your school or college, or online.
How it works
Sessions can be delivered online or in-person in your school or college. If you’d like us to deliver a session to you and your team, please fill in the form below and we'll do our very best to accommodate you. It typically takes a minimum of 2 weeks from the date of your request to arrange your CPD session - for in-person requests, a longer lead time is recommended. Once you have submitted your form, we will email you to discuss next steps.
You can book multiple sessions from our menu, and we're happy to tailor sessions to your requirements - just ask if you have specific interests. Timings are flexible and can be adjusted. A minimum group size of 5 is required for booking. Feel free to invite teachers from nearby schools and colleges, or request us to speak at teacher networking events.

Frequently Asked Questions
I work at an independent school, can we take part?
Sorry – we only offer this particular service to state schools.
I want a session on a topic which isn’t on your list. Is this OK?
Ask us and we can tell you! If we have expertise on that topic we will be willing to help.
Do you deliver your sessions after school or during school hours?
We can do either. Sometimes we can take part in a “Twilight” after school session you have scheduled, or we can deliver sessions earlier in the day if this works best for you.
What is the maximum number of teachers who can take part in a session?
There is no maximum as such, if you have a very large group we can see if we can arrange more than one presenter.
Can we have more than one session?
Yes - it's very common for us to deliver more than one session on the same visit. We can also schedule multiple online sessions too.
If you've already have a CPD session from us at some point in the past, you're always welcome to enquire with us about another one!
