Flourish Education partners with National College to deliver CPD for active candidates

Flourish Education is excited to announce a new partnership with National College, giving our actively working candidates access to high-quality online CPD (Continuing Professional Development) training, completely free of charge.

This new collaboration means that all current Flourish Champions, whether you're working as a supply teacher, teaching assistant or support staff, can now access a wide range of fully accredited CPD courses to support your continued professional development whilst on assignment.

We’ve always believed that success is achieved as a collective, and by investing in the growth and development of our teaching and support staff, we’re continuing to raise standards across the schools and communities we serve.

Why we’ve partnered with National College

As part of our ongoing commitment to providing the highest calibre staff to schools across the West Midlands, we understand how important professional development is to our candidates. From safeguarding updates to subject-specific training, we want our team to feel confident, current and supported in every assignment.

National College provides industry-leading CPD courses that are designed by education experts, school leaders and Ofsted inspectors. With a library of over 600 courses and resources, including the latest statutory updates, school improvement webinars and role-specific training, it’s a trusted platform used by more than 45,000 schools and colleges across the UK.

This partnership allows actively working Flourish candidates to:

• Complete CPD in their own time, at their own pace
• Boost confidence and skills in specific subjects or support areas
• Gain certificates that strengthen their CVs and support career progression

Empowering our candidates to thrive

We’ve always promised our candidates that we’ll only offer work where and when they want it, in schools where we know they’ll thrive. Now, with this new partnership, we’re going one step further, offering our team the tools they need to continue developing and growing throughout their education careers.

Whether you’re an Early Career Teacher keen to build your professional profile or an experienced Teaching Assistant looking to refresh your safeguarding training, this platform is for you.

We want every member of our team to feel empowered, confident and career-ready, whether you’re working day-to-day supply or on a long-term placement.
