CPD Programmes
Stay Sharp. Stay Current. Keep Getting Better.
The education and training landscape never stands still. Standards evolve, expectations shift, and the best professionals in the sector know that their own development matters just as much as their learners’ development.
At Aim Higher Training, our CPD Programmes are designed for educators and training professionals who are serious about their practice, whether you’re an individual assessor looking to sharpen your skills or a training provider investing in the professional development of your whole team.
Delivered live, online, or on demand, our programmes are practical, relevant, and built around the realities of working in education and training today.

Training providers and ILPs
What We Cover
- Assessment & IQA Practice
Strong assessment practice is the foundation of credible, high-quality provision. Our CPD in this area covers the principles and practice of vocational assessment, the role and responsibilities of the Internal Quality Assurer, sampling strategies, giving effective feedback, and maintaining robust assessment records.
Whether your team is new to assessment or experienced practitioners looking to refresh and sharpen their approach, these sessions build confidence, consistency, and competence.
- Teaching & Facilitation
Great teaching doesn’t happen by accident. Our CPD sessions for tutors and trainers focus on the practical skills that make the difference in the room or on screen.
From planning and delivery techniques to questioning, engagement, and adapting to different learning needs, these sessions are grounded in current best practice and immediately applicable to your context.
- Standardisation & Quality Improvement
Standardisation is one of the most valuable and most underutilised tools available to training providers. Done well, it builds consistency across your assessor team, surfaces development needs early and creates a culture of reflective practice that raises the quality of everything you deliver.
Our CPD in this area supports providers in running effective standardisation activities, using quality improvement data meaningfully, and embedding a continuous improvement mindset across their teams.
- Apprenticeship Updates
The apprenticeship landscape continues to evolve, with changes to funding rules, end-point assessment requirements, and delivery expectations regularly reshaping what providers need to know and do.
Our apprenticeship update sessions keep delivery staff and managers current covering the latest developments in policy, compliance, and best practice so your team is always working from the most up-to-date understanding of the sector.
How We Deliver
We know that professionals and organisations have different needs, different schedules, and different ways of learning. That’s why our CPD is available in three formats:
🔹 Live online sessions – interactive, tutor-led sessions delivered via video, ideal for teams or individuals who benefit from real-time discussion and the opportunity to ask questions
🔹 On demand – recorded sessions available to access at any time, perfect for busy professionals who need flexibility around their working schedule
🔹 Bespoke commissioned programmes – designed and delivered specifically for your organisation, tailored to your context, your team’s needs, and your quality improvement priorities
For organisations, bespoke programmes can be scheduled around your team’s availability, delivered in a format that works for your setting, and focused on exactly the areas that will make the biggest difference to your provision.
Why Choose Aim Higher Training for Your CPD?
Our CPD isn’t designed by people who used to work in education. It’s designed and delivered by experienced practitioners who are still embedded in the sector, people who understand the pressures your team faces, the standards they’re expected to meet, and the difference that genuinely useful professional development can make.
Every session we deliver is practical, relevant, and rooted in current sector requirements. We don’t do death by PowerPoint. We don’t recycle generic content. We design CPD that respects your time and makes a real difference to your practice.
Our commitment to quality has been recognised through our most recent NCFE External Quality Assurance visit, which highlighted the support we provide to learners, the standard of our feedback, and our ability to nurture individuals towards success. That same commitment runs through everything we deliver, including our CPD.
