In the classroom
A lesson you would teach differently
A group that switched off halfway through gives you something to rethink. Keep the learning, not learner details.
“What will I change for this group next week?”
Passport for teachers, tutors and trainers
Your teaching CPD.
More than INSET days.
The observation that changed your questioning. The lesson that did not land and why. Keep the learning behind your teaching in a free personal Passport that comes with you from school to college.
Free personal CPD log. No card. No trial. Your record, not your employer's.
Learning happens in every lesson
See your teaching week in your CPD.
The best development often happens between colleagues, not on training days. Give it somewhere to land.
After a peer observation
Feedback worth keeping
A colleague notices something about your questioning that you had never seen. Capture it before the next appraisal.
“Which standard does this build on?”
In FE and skills
Industry and teaching side by side
Updating your vocational expertise is development too. Record both sides of your dual professionalism.
“How will this show up in my teaching?”
Illustrative learning situations, not customer stories. Keep learner and colleague identifiers out of your entries.
Why keep your record here?
A little less scattered.
A lot more yours.
Capture the thought while it is fresh
Use Quick Log and your personal QR shortcut to open your log on your phone. Return to the reflection when you have space to think.
Get beyond 'attended a course'
Keep what you learned, how it applies and the difference it could make together. Your own words, at your own pace.
Keep a record through every move
New school, new college, supply work or a move into training: use the same personal account. Your employer does not automatically get access to your private reflections.
Bring the evidence with you
Attach certificates to CPD entries and export a PDF or CSV when you want a copy or something to share.
Small habits, meaningful learning
Your development can grow from the things you already do.
A peer observation. A short course. Time reflecting on a lesson. Explore a monthly rhythm that gives your appraisal something real to talk about.
There is no statutory hours requirement for teachers in England. 30 hours a year is a suggested habit mapped to the Teachers' Standards or ETF Professional Standards.
Read the ETF Professional StandardsFind your monthly rhythm
A suggested habit of 30 hours a year.
Your illustrative annual total
36 hours / year
That rhythm reaches a 30-hour year, with room to build on it.
A planning illustration, not a compliance check or saved CPD entry. Only relevant, completed learning with reflection belongs in your record.
Alongside your official record
Your Passport and your appraisal have different jobs.
Passport gives your learning and reflections a personal home. Your appraisal or performance review still happens with your school or college.
We do not submit records to the DfE, TRA or ETF. Follow your employer's appraisal process.
For heads, principals and quality leads
Support development. Leave room for the person.
Bring staff training, observations and development into one place. Passport for Teams gives you oversight, while personal reflections stay private unless shared.
Organisation features require an eligible paid plan and authorised manager access.

Is there a required number of CPD hours for teachers?
Not in law for school teachers in England. Many schools and colleges set their own expectations, so check your employer's policy.
What is free, and what needs PassportPro?
Your personal Passport is free, with no trial or card details. Record activities and reflections, attach evidence, set your own hours target, import a CSV and export your record. PassportPro is optional and adds features including AI reflection coaching, certificate reading and the Training Locker.
Can I tag Teachers' Standards or ETF standards?
Yes. Both come pre-loaded, so you can tag each entry and see your coverage.
What happens when I change school or college?
Your personal Passport belongs to you, not your employer. Keep using the same account through every move, so your learning history comes with you.
Can my school or college see my personal reflections?
Not automatically. You choose what to export or share from your personal record. Keep learner and colleague identifiers out of your reflections. Separate organisation training records may be visible to authorised managers.
Your next teaching idea deserves more than a sticky note.
Start with one thing you learned this week. A lesson, a conversation, a change you want to try.
- Free personal record, with optional PassportPro upgrades
- Evidence and reflections in one place
