Short Courses and CPD

The University offers an employer-centred approach to training, education, and workforce development. We strive to make it as simple as possible for you to achieve your training objectives, no matter how extensive or complex your needs are.

We collaborate with a wide variety of partners to support the delivery of highly specialised training. From higher and degree apprenticeships to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses, we have a portfolio that can meet your business requirements.

Short courses and CPD

We offer short courses spanning a range of subject specialisms that support continuing professional development for working people. This allows individuals to top-up their knowledge or learn something new while fitting studies around work or other commitments.

We can also provide bespoke corporate programmes for organisations that can either be accredited or non-accredited, with the option to tailor an accreditation proposal for any in-house training programmes, working with businesses to apply them effectively in the workplace.

Through a collaborative approach, our team can design specific courses that meet each organisation's current frameworks and strategic objectives to maximise return on investment. Our approach to relationship management and quality assurance puts our clients and their staff at the core of programme decisions.
