Trainer Development Collaborative (TDC) courses and resources available for developing your educational role.
Once recognised or approved, trainers must provide evidence of their continuing professional development for their training role. The TDC has developed a number of resources mapped to the Academy of Medical Educators (AoME) framework areas to help trainers provide evidence of their CPD.
These resources vary in format and have been designed to provide both useful information and support ongoing trainer development. Following completion of each resource a certificate of completion/attendance will be provided.
Scroll down the page to find a list of courses and resources that can aid your development.
Following the completion of a resource you may also wish to complete a reflective template which can provide additional evidence for revalidation. Click the link below to download the template.
