Continuing Professional Development
The Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Masterplan1 for the Early Childhood (EC) sector includes the provision of CPD courses which aim to raise the quality and professional experience of EC educators.
ECDA strongly recommends that all EC educators complete at least 20 hours of CPD per year. You can choose to attend CPD courses or participate in Professional Development (PD) programmes and initiatives organised by ECDA2. You can also consider other modes of PD such as web-based learning, learning journeys and sharing sessions amongst peers.
CPD Prospectus
The CPD Prospectus is updated quarterly to support you in planning for your PD. It provides information on CPD courses for Educators, as aligned to the Skills Framework for Early Childhood.
