touchconsulting Ltd is a small organisation that co-designs and delivers big quality improvement programmes for the education and training profession
The team at touchconsulting Ltd were incredibly excited to design and develop a 3-day CPD programme for those operating in AP-type roles across the education and training sector. The last time such a national investment was made in this role was years ago as part of the national teaching and learning programme.

Since 2018, touchconsulting Ltd has trained 200+ APs across England. We started with an ‘open’ model in which 25 APs came together from across the country for a two-day residential, and then regrouped on day 3 to review progress on their small-scale quality improvement projects and their wider culture-changing role.
We have now moved to an ‘in-house’ delivery model. AP teams are trained inhouse at a time and venue to suit with places open to local APs. Again, a 3-day model but without the residential element.
The programme is subsidised by the Education and Training Foundation.
Best CPD I have ever participated in. Provoked and inspired me to try new ideas, strategies and believe in my role and myself. Thank you.
A very well put together training programme; exceptional in content to other training I have received
I thought the training itself was excellent and really well thought through. So nice to go to some training that is actually delivered in the way we are asked to deliver.
Really good attention to detail and very interactive. I enjoyed the reading, the techniques and the contact with other APs. It was great! I really enjoyed it.
