A framework should support trainers and organisations in developing, promoting and facilitating opportunities for professional development

To analyse the work and professional development of trainers in context specific situations Focus on cases to develop common scenarios Develop a framework based on commitments and support for professional development - rather than common qualifications Develop a framework based on commitments and support for professional development - rather than common qualifications Develop a framework based on commitments and support for professional development - rather than common qualifications Our approach

The methodology is based on Critical Theory and cultural studies

Critical theory allows us to look at basic assumptions, socio-cultural conventions and strategic orientations

cultural approaches look at generative themes, boundary crossing innovation and communities of practice

A Framework for continuing professional development - Inclusive enough to accommodate the diversity of people labeled ‘trainers’ and the diversity of contexts in which they work. - An instrument for improving the quality of practice - A process to improve and increase access to training opportunities for trainers

Common principles which underpin the framework

Common commitments for trainers, enterprises, social partners, professional organisations and governmental bodies
