Improving learner outcomes

Free SEND CPD Webinars

Keeping your knowledge current

Here at OLT, we understand that educators are busy professionals, who want to keep up to date even if they are time-poor! Typically one hour in length, our webinars aim to keep your learning on track whilst supplementing what you learn on our special educational needs (SEN) courses. We're confident you'll find these webinars a valuable learning resource.

Our commitment to 'Quality First Teaching'

As part of our ongoing commitment to support the SEN community, we provide free access to our live or on-demand webinars (except the Expert Webinar Series). Aimed at all teaching professionals including support staff, our speakers’ insights are valued by parent and carers too. If you or your organisation has OLT membership, CPD certification is provided for free, as part of your membership benefits. Guests are charged a small administration fee starting from £4.99 per certificate.
