Certified CPD Partners with The Phoenix Private School, Doha, to Support Whole-School Professional Development
Certified CPD has partnered with The Phoenix Private School in Doha, Qatar, to support whole-school professional development, providing staff with access to a broad range of accredited online training.
The partnership will support the professional development needs of the entire school community, from teachers and school leaders to administration and support staff, with training covering teaching and learning, safeguarding, compliance, health and safety, leadership, digital skills and wider professional development.
About The Phoenix Private School, Doha
The Phoenix Private School, Doha, is a welcoming, and close-knit English National Curriculum school located in Al Maamoura, catering to students from Foundation 1 through Year 9. With a diverse community representing more than 50 nationalities, the school celebrates inclusivity and fosters a warm, supportive learning environment.
Rated ‘Effective’ across all categories by QNSA, the school is committed to ensuring that every child is known, valued, and supported throughout their educational journey.
This commitment to its pupils is supported by an equally important investment in the people who make that educational experience possible. Through its partnership with Certified CPD, The Phoenix Private School is strengthening opportunities for continuous professional development across its wider school workforce.
A Whole-School Approach to Professional Development
Professional development within a school extends far beyond mandatory training or classroom-based teaching skills.
A successful school depends on teachers, leaders, administrators and support teams working together. Each group has different professional development requirements, but all contribute to the quality, safety and effectiveness of the school environment.
The partnership gives staff at The Phoenix Private School access to Certified CPD's online learning platform and a broad range of accredited professional development opportunities covering areas including:
Teaching and learning
Safeguarding and child protection
Health and safety
Compliance and regulatory awareness
Leadership and management
Digital skills and cyber awareness
Professional and workplace skills
Wider continuing professional development
By bringing these areas together within one learning environment, the school can support professional development more consistently across different roles while allowing staff to access learning relevant to their responsibilities.
Supporting Teachers, Leaders and the Wider School Community
Different roles within a school require different skills.
Teachers may want to develop their knowledge of safeguarding, behaviour for learning, inclusive teaching or other areas of classroom practice. School leaders may require development in leadership, risk management or compliance, while administration and support teams can benefit from areas such as health and safety, data protection, cyber security and wider professional skills.
Certified CPD's whole-school approach allows these different learning needs to be supported through a single professional development platform.
It also helps move CPD beyond a collection of individual courses towards a broader culture of continuous learning across the school.
More Than Mandatory and Compliance Training
Safeguarding, health and safety and compliance remain essential responsibilities for schools, but effective professional development should not stop there.
Certified CPD provides schools with access to learning that supports both essential compliance requirements and wider professional growth.
Alongside mandatory and regulatory topics, staff can develop skills in teaching and learning, leadership, digital capability and broader professional practice.
This enables schools to use professional development not simply to demonstrate compliance, but to invest continuously in the knowledge and capabilities of their people.
Schools interested in adopting a similar approach can explore Certified CPD's whole-school professional development solutions.
Investing in People to Support Better Educational Outcomes
The partnership between Certified CPD and The Phoenix Private School reflects a shared belief that investing in staff development ultimately supports the wider school community.
Creating accessible opportunities for continuous learning can help strengthen professional confidence, improve consistency and encourage the sharing of good practice across different functions within a school.
For The Phoenix Private School, this complements an established culture in which pupils are known, valued and supported, while ensuring that the staff responsible for delivering that experience also have opportunities to continue developing professionally.
Certified CPD is proud to support The Phoenix Private School as it continues to invest in its people and its diverse international community in Doha.
