About the Research
We researched practices that would create mutually beneficial links between professional bodies and higher education institutions (HEIs), as well as other education and training suppliers in relation to CPD.
We looked into how professional bodies and higher education institutions can improve their communication and understanding, as well as their joint working policies. In particular, we looked at how HEIs and professional bodies are working together in relation to CPD and what each side thinks of these partnerships.
This research was funded by the Department for Innovations, Universities and Skills (now the
Department for Business, Innovation & Skills) and was conducted in partnership with
The Training Gateway.

We collected information through:
Case studies
10 HEIs, 10 professional bodies and 5 other non-HEI CPD suppliers
