Training, support and community for the FE sector
Learning Edge FE provides training, support and community for people who work in Further Education. We are launching our first support and development memberships for curriculum managers and those new to teaching in FE.
Curriculum Managers Training & Development
A 12-month programme to support curriculum managers and leaders to deliver high quality education across all types of provision. Focus on leadership, culture and developing high performing teams, as well as joining a thriving community committed to thriving in this sector.
£399pp for 12 months access
What does the Curriculum Managers Programme entail?
Who is this programme for?
Whether you are a new or experienced middle leader in FE, the training and development will be relevant and useful as we navigate the ever-changing demands of the sector. It is designed to be an inclusive community so we will share experiences and grow together. If you are considering the step up to this role, it would be perfect CPD to do just that.
Who should NOT join this programme?
If you already lead effective teams with no staffing issues or recruitment, quality, teaching & learning, student engagement or timetabling challenges, then this community probably isn't for you. Our community is committed to championing the best in the FE sector and training people to make the positive difference they really want to make - if this isn't you, this community probably isn't for you!
Each month, what you'll get as part of the programme:
Thoughtpiece Blog from our team of FE experts
Regular responsive content (podcast, interview, video)
Industry & Sector Updates channel
Structured reflection activity
New to FE Programme
A 12-month programme to support FE teachers in their first 2-3 years in the sector. Focus on learning and assessment models, innovation and strategies to personalise learning and maximise engagement.
£399pp for 12 months access
What does the New to FE Programme entail?
Who is this programme for?
We know that the support and development for new teachers to FE is imperative and so this is a training and development platform to support. This community will support teaching practice development, provide teaching tools and strategies that can be easily applied, and give new teachers the space to share, collaborate, ask for help and access on-demand training. Whether you teach 16-18s, adults, apprenticeships or any other groups in FE, the training and development community will support. We recommend the training for anyone within their first 2-3 years of teaching in FE.
Who should NOT join this programme?
Experienced FE teachers or those new to the sector who aren't interested in getting off on the right foot within their first few years!
