This full day training will be provided jointly by Kingston University Lecturers and the Teaching Partnership.

This training is suitable for qualified Practice Educators (PEs) in need of refresher training due to not having practiced or attended relevant training for some time. Completion of this training day will serve as evidence of having refreshed their qualification.
