PIQET Training Programme for CPD Educators
The Training Programme for CPD Educators was developed under Erasmus + project Principles of Quality in Education of Teachers – PIQET. This project aimed to develop a set of resources for assuring the quality of CPD educator performance to assure the quality of CPD opportunities in general. Besides the training programme, other resources developed are (can be found here):
- Existing Practices of Recruitment and Professional Development of Continuous Professional Development Educators
- Quality Principles for Continuous Professional Development Educators
- Handbook
This document provides a model for a three-day training based on PIQET Principles but it leaves enough room for personal, organisational or national differences. The programme can be used by individuals, CPD educators of any type willing to reflect on their own work and improve it, or by CPD providers, public or in-service non-governmental organisations willing to put in place policies of quality assurance in recruitment and support to CPD educators. In practical use, it is designed as a three-day training. However, organisations or individuals using it can adopt it to serve their specific needs by modifying this structure.
