Boost Your Skills with Our CPD-Focused Morning Workshops!

Looking to enhance your skills without the full-day commitment?

Our half-day morning workshops are perfect for you! Tailored for CPD purposes, these sessions are designed to update your knowledge on key topics while offering interactive group activities to connect and share experiences with like-minded professionals. Plus, you’ll receive a Suffolk New College Certificate of Attendance to recognise your achievement.

Seeking Formal Recognition for Your CPD?

If formal recognition is your goal, our full-day workshops are the perfect fit.

After a morning of interactive learning, our afternoon sessions offer guided activities focused on assessments.

Complete the full day, and upon successful assessment, you’ll earn an ILM Certificate for the unit credits you’ve achieved.

These unit credits are more than just recognition—they can be accumulated toward a full qualification, marking your progress and dedication to professional growth.

Ready to Earn a Qualification?

If you’re aiming for a qualification, our full-day workshops offer a flexible path to success.

By attending a combination of sessions, you can accumulate credits toward an ILM Level 3 Award or Certificate in Leadership and Management.

With just two workshops, you could be on your way to earning a Level 3 Award!

With just 7 workshops, you could be on your way to earning a Level 3 Certificate!

For details on which modules count toward your qualification, visit our individual workshop pages. If you’d like personalised guidance, reach out to Tracey MacDonald at traceymacdonald@suffolk.ac.uk – she’s here to help you navigate your journey to earning a recognised qualification.
