Courses & Events
We offer a wide range of continuing professional development courses
Links Professional Development
The Links Professional Development Programme is a common core of courses designed to address shared national priorities, and a further programme tailored to meet regional and local needs.
Links Core Courses have been designed to support the national priorities for languages which are aimed at raising standards of attainment and achievement, school improvement, and subject knowledge and curriculum change. Written by nationally recognised practitioners and consultants, and their development coordinated by SSAT, the core programme of Links courses is available across England, ensuring that no matter where you live, you can access high-quality CPD for languages.
Links Core Courses are complemented at a regional level by courses that are designed to meet specific regional needs. Some of these courses have been developed solely by Links; others are run in conjunction with other CPD providers.
