Consolidate and supplement your university and school based training in science by completing courses you select from the Reach Out CPD online course.

Each course is 4 units of about 20 minutes each, so one course takes about 1 hour 20 minutes. When you complete a course the name of the course is added to your ‘certificate.’ You shouldfile this in your Professional Development Portfolio.

Work on the courses that are most relevant to the topics that you are teaching in school.You can continue accessing this CPD afterthis year.

Visit and create an account.

Starting with topics where your confidence is low, work through the course and do any quizzes, notes & reflections suggested (all online). NB Some links to external sites do not always work. If so cut and paste the web address into Google and that usually works.

Each time you complete a course fill in the chart below and save. Your science tutor will ask to see it.
