Welcome to professional education at the University of Hertfordshire
Short courses and CPD
Looking to upskill or change career? Stay abreast of trends, knowledge, and best practices
We offer an extensive range of short courses and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities within health and social care, life and medical sciences, creative and screen arts, and business and leadership. Each is designed to enhance your skills and advance your professional prospects in a manner that suits your lifestyle. CPD and short courses provide accessible learning opportunities, making them ideal for ambitious individuals looking to balance further study with a healthy work-life dynamic. The duration of these courses varies, ranging from a few hours to several weeks or months.
CPD courses are usually self-paced and flexible, tailored for professionals seeking to broaden their knowledge and enhance their career prospects through ongoing development in a way that integrates seamlessly with employment. Short courses are more structured and designed to impart a specific set of skills or knowledge within a shorter timeframe, ideal for those seeking a quick way to deepen their understanding or acquire a new skill. Some short courses serve as components of a broader CPD curriculum.
Whether you are looking for a short course or a CPD course, we have many for you to choose from.
