Learning should inspire and empower you, whether it’s professionally or personally. At Edge Hill University, our CPD opportunities help you grow. Within our CPD offering, we offer three pathways to choose from:
- Community CPD
- Professional CPD Packages
- Bespoke Professional CPD.
Delivered online, face-to-face, or in a hybrid format, by expert trainers, our courses build confidence, enhance expertise, and help you stay ahead in your field.
Community CPD courses
From arts and culture to languages and even true crime, our Community CPD courses offer something for everyone. Running three times a year, our programme changes throughout the year, giving you fresh opportunities to explore new interests. Whether you’re looking to try something new, develop a hobby, or simply learn for the joy of it, our Community CPD courses make learning fun, accessible, and inspiring.
We are always looking to expand our Community CPD offer. If you have a suggestion of something you’d like to see in our selection, please get in touch: [email protected]
“I really enjoyed this course. I was impressed with tutor’s knowledge, understanding and his delivery was very good. I really liked the extra reading what was made available to us and I really feel that I have deepened my understanding of Austen and her world. I particularly liked the timings of the course as it fitted so well in with the rest of my life.”

“I definitely learnt a lot, and this enabled me to appreciate the show in a whole new way. I’ve also learnt skills that I can apply elsewhere in the future. The tutor explained things really well, using simple language that I could understand and demonstrating through examples to help get his points across. The pacing was just right so that I could keep up but not so slow that points felt laboured. I also think the discussions with classmates were great, and the vevox quizzes worked well.”
