DfE National Professional Qualifications – February Update
DfE National Professional Qualifications – February Update
The new suite of National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) is now available for teachers and leaders who want to develop their expertise in leadership and specialist areas of teaching practice.
As part of the Education Recovery Package, all teachers and leaders employed at state-funded schools, as well as state-funded 16-19 organisations can now access fully funded training scholarships to undertake NPQs.
The application window to begin an NPQ in February will soon close, and we encourage all teachers and leaders, particularly those eligible for training scholarships, to undertake these evidence-led qualifications to invest in their careers and secure improved outcomes for children.
You can learn more about the qualifications by viewing the recording of an NPQ webinar which was held in November using the link below. The recording covers all aspects of the qualifications and how to apply CLICK HERE
