Learning pathways

Learning that leads somewhere.

Start with the knowledge you need today and discover where it could take you tomorrow. WorkplaceHero pathways connect online training, professional CPD and regulated qualifications so you can plan your next stage of development.

Pathways

Where your learning could go next

Each step below is a course we actually run. Completing an earlier step builds your knowledge - it does not grant credit, exemption or automatic entry to a regulated qualification.

Safeguarding pathway

Anyone with safeguarding responsibility, from induction to designated lead.

Start with the essential training every member of staff needs, keep it current with CPD, then formalise your knowledge with a regulated qualification.

  1. Online training

    Safeguarding Children

    Self-paced online training covering recognition, reporting and your duty of care.

  2. CPD / masterclass

    Safeguarding Refresher

    Keep practice current as guidance changes, with reflection for your CPD log.

  3. Regulated qualification

    Safeguarding and Prevent for FE Staff

    A regulated, assessed qualification certificated by the awarding organisation.

AI in education pathway

Teachers, trainers and managers working out how to use AI responsibly.

Build from the foundations to practical classroom use, then take a regulated qualification in AI for educators.

    AI Masterclass: Foundations of AI in Education

    What the tools actually do, and where they fall over.

  2. Regulated qualification

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Educators
