This session helps staff go beyond checking understanding and move towards truly embedding assessment as part of the learning journey.

We explore how to use assessment to inform planning, adapt delivery in real time, and build learner confidence and ownership. With a focus on practical strategies, staff will leave with tools to make assessment purposeful, inclusive and responsive, whether they’re delivering online, in person, or in blended environments.

Ideal for tutors, coaches and curriculum leads looking to strengthen learner progress without relying on high-stakes methods.

This practical session explores how to meet diverse learner needs through intentional, adaptive teaching. Rather than relying on rigid differentiation plans, we focus on flexible, real-time approaches that support progress for every learner. Staff will learn how to adjust pace, task, and support using evidence from the classroom—while maintaining challenge and clarity.

This session is ideal for tutors and delivery staff looking to build confidence in personalising delivery without compromising structure, standards or expectations.

This session introduces staff to the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies and what they mean for teaching, learning, and quality in FE.

We explore real use cases for AI in planning, assessment and support, as well as the risks and ethical considerations providers need to be aware of.

Designed for all staff, this session focuses on practical awareness and confident decision-making, helping teams engage with tech developments in a way that supports learners, not overwhelms them.

This session supports staff to deliver high-quality, consistent learning across digital and in-person environments.

Ideal for team leaders, curriculum leads and early-stage managers ready to grow their impact.

This session equips staff with practical strategies to create calm, purposeful learning environments—whether teaching face-to-face or online.

We explore how to build positive behaviours, set clear expectations, and respond to disruption with consistency and confidence. The session also addresses common challenges in virtual delivery, including learner engagement, camera use, and digital boundaries.

Ideal for tutors, assessors and support staff looking to strengthen learner focus and improve behaviour for learning across all delivery models.

Too often, IQA activity gets stuck on paperwork and assessment criteria. While compliance is important, it doesn’t drive real improvement in teaching and learning. This workshop is designed to reframe the role of IQAs and quality leads, giving you the tools to observe teaching effectively and focus on what really matters: learner experience, intent, implementation, and impact.

In this 90-minute interactive session, we’ll explore what great OTLA looks like, how to move beyond box-ticking, and how to give feedback that genuinely supports staff development. You’ll leave with a clear framework, a practical OTLA template pack, and the confidence to strengthen your quality processes in a way that has lasting impact.

This session helps staff move beyond signposting and towards meaningful, embedded careers support that reaches every learner.

We explore how to integrate high-quality CIAG into curriculum delivery, tutorials, and day-to-day interactions—aligning with the Gatsby Benchmarks and Ofsted expectations. Staff will gain practical strategies for tailoring guidance to different learner needs, making employer links visible, and building progression conversations into their teaching.

Ideal for tutors, coaches and curriculum teams aiming to strengthen learner outcomes and long-term success.

This session covers the core responsibilities of safeguarding in Further Education, with a clear focus on identifying risks, responding appropriately, and promoting a culture of safety. It includes statutory duties under the PREVENT strategy, helping staff and students recognise signs of radicalisation, understand referral pathways, and foster inclusive, respectful environments.

The session can be delivered as a refresher or first-time induction, with content tailored for staff, learners, or both.

All content reflects the latest KCSIE guidance and best practice in post-16 education.

The new Ofsted inspection framework introduces Inclusion as a standalone judgement area for the first time — and with it, a renewed focus on how well providers enable every learner to belong, participate and succeed.

This interactive workshop helps FE and Skills staff understand what the new inclusion standards mean in practice, and how to embed inclusive approaches across teaching, support, and leadership.

We’ll explore:

• What Ofsted means by inclusion under the new framework — and how it’s assessed in inspection.

• How to identify and remove barriers for disadvantaged learners, those with SEND, and others at risk of exclusion.

• Why high expectations are the foundation of inclusion — and how to avoid “soft bigotry of low expectations.”

• Practical strategies for adapting teaching, assessment, and support without diluting ambition.

• Using data, learner voice, and reflective practice to evidence inclusion meaningfully.

• Examples of inclusive practice that go beyond compliance — building a culture of belonging, not just a list of adjustments.

Ofsted’s new framework makes one thing clear: it’s not about how much data you have — it’s about how well you understand it. Inspectors no longer want spreadsheets for the sake of it. They want providers who can confidently tell the story of how learners progress, achieve, and thrive.

This workshop helps you move from data collection to intelligent interpretation — turning numbers into meaningful evidence of progress and impact.

We’ll explore:

• What Ofsted look for in data under the new “secure fit” model — and how to present it with confidence.

• How to use data to evidence substantial and sustained progress from learners’ starting points.

• Making sense of achievement, attendance, and destination data without drowning in metrics.

• Identifying trends and outliers — what they tell you about inclusion, quality and performance.

• Using qualitative evidence (learner voice, case studies, work scrutiny) to humanise your data story.

• How to create simple, visual reports and dashboards that support narrative, not replace it.

• Common pitfalls: data without context, over-analysis, or using data as a shield rather than a mirror.

This session supports staff to recognise, respond to, and proactively support mental health and wellbeing needs in Further Education settings.

We explore common signs of distress, how to create psychologically safe learning spaces, and what to do when a student discloses a concern. The session balances pastoral care with professional boundaries, and provides clear guidance on referral routes and safeguarding implications.

Ideal for all staff—particularly those in direct contact with learners—who want to feel more confident supporting wellbeing without becoming overwhelmed.

With Ofsted’s new inspection framework soon to be live, the role of the nominee has never been more complex — or more crucial. The nominee sets the tone for inspection, shapes the narrative, and ensures the team can evidence impact confidently under scrutiny.

This one-day bootcamp equips nominees and deputies with the knowledge, tools and mindset to lead inspections effectively in the new landscape — moving beyond reactive preparation to strategic, evidence-led readiness.

You’ll explore:

• The structure of the new framework and what’s changed — from evaluation areas to the “secure fit” grading model.

• How inspectors gather and test evidence: what they’ll expect from leaders, staff, and learners.

• The nominee’s role before, during and after inspection — including managing meetings, deep-dive discussions and learning walks.

• How to shape and communicate your provider’s narrative with authenticity and precision.

• Managing difficult questions, inconsistencies or surprises during inspection.

• Using self-assessment and QIPs effectively to demonstrate secure, embedded improvement.

• What “impact” really looks like — and how to evidence it without producing mountains of paperwork.

This session explores the role of reflective practice in professional growth, quality improvement, and learner outcomes.

Staff will examine how to move beyond surface-level reflection and develop habits that genuinely inform teaching, planning and leadership decisions. The session introduces simple, sustainable tools for self-evaluation, peer feedback, and evidence-informed development—supporting both personal accountability and organisational quality.

Ideal for tutors, curriculum leads and support staff looking to strengthen their professional voice and contribute meaningfully to a culture of continuous improvement.
