ATL and Edge Hill University have a long established and unique partnership so members can access discounted CPD at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Edge Hill University is one of the UK's leading providers of professional development for the wider education workforce. Our partnership allows you to access the undergraduate degree programmes and masters in education.
The programmes are impact-led, flexible and personalised to your individual professional needs, focusing on the effect of outstanding practice on the outcomes and achievements of learners.
You can access modules and accreditation by attending ATL courses, Edge Hill modules or completing workplace projects. Degrees can be completed in manageable chunks and studying via Edge Hill also shows an engagement with CPD for performance management purposes.
