Purpose
This toolkit helps academics turn their specialist knowledge and research into high-quality, market-relevant professional learning. It explores the opportunity, the viability, the different models and costs, approval requirements, marketing, delivery and improvement cycles of how to create and scale up CPD offer.
CPD is an income-generating route through which the University of Kent can share its expertise with businesses, organisations, professionals, employers, public services and local communities.
It delivers tangible skills development, creates pathways into higher education, strengthens research impact and dissemination, helps build longer-term business relationships.
The best idea starts with a clearly defined need and a credible route to delivery.
| Use this toolkit when you have an early idea, an employer request, a partnership opportunity or an existing module that could become a short professional training offer. |
