This page includes information and resources to support your continuous professional development, including effective practice examples and case studies.
Our CPD resources are separated by our three Quality Standards, as defined in the Quality Assurance and Improvement Framework: Service Delivery, Leadership & Quality Culture, and Outcomes & Impact.
Resources produced from Education Scotland Effective Practice Events can also be found here, including materials illustrating delivery of Modern Apprenticeships in a variety of sectors and feedback from providers who attended the events.
