AoBSO is delighted to be working exclusively with Best Practice Network (BPN) and Educational Success Partners (ESP)to offer DfE accredited NPQ programmes via distance learning to our BSO schools worldwide. Accredited by the UK Department for Education, the BPN/ESP partnership is the leading provider of the National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) globally. See below for the courses on offer and costs:

Participants on our NPQ programmes get access to the highest quality development, crafted by former and practising education professionals and CPD experts delivered in a way that is attuned to demanding work schedules. All international participants have access to a fully online, distance learning delivery model which includes facilitated online webinars, regional collaborative learning groups and 1:1 tutor support throughout their NPQ studies. Increasingly our member schools are acting as delivery hubs allowing our members to complement the online delivery with face to face sessions in DfE accredited schools.

Registration for the Autumn 2024 is now open and the application deadline for the Autumn 2024 cohort is 23.59 BST/UK time on 13 September 2024.

If you are interested in participating in it, please register your interest by emailing Mark Bignell on admin@aobso.uk. This will ensure that you are allocated to the AoBSO cohort of school leaders in British international schools.
