Staff development

Natspec offers staff development opportunities to staff working in both the specialist and mainstream FE sectors. We aim to improve outcomes for learners by upskilling all professionals who educate and train young people aged 16-25 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) or Additional Learning Needs (ALN).

Our CPD is run by specialists in their subject areas with extensive experience of working in FE for learners with SEND / ALN.
