"Emotionally and socially enriching": Thrive's CPD offerings for Licensed Practitioners

Once you become a Licensed Practitioner your journey with Thrive is only just beginning. Knowing the brain has incredible plasticity and neuronal pathways that are always being forged when you undertake new learning and accomplish new skills, Thrive are keen to devise new and exciting Thrive CPD courses to stimulate their Licensed Practitioners.

To remain a Thrive Licensed Practitioner you must be prepared to undertake annual training. The CPD days are carefully planned and, very importantly, emotionally and socially enriching. Licensed Practitioners on CPD courses have said it is great to get back into the Thrive community, meet fellow Practitioners, see familiar faces, make new contacts, and network with others using the same Thrive language, as well as exchange uplifting stories, tears and laughter and often cake!

Practitioners have also said it is great to take new ideas and approaches back into their practice and settings, confident that they have been tried and tested and feedback from Thrive CPD courses is consistently excellent.

Thrive trainers are always highly complimented and the content of the training praised. Further CPD training also helps to keep Practitioners up to date with Thrive-Online which is being regularly updated and upgraded. Learning strategies are constantly reviewed and developed and new information shared with Thrive Practitioners.

CPD requirements to maintain your Licensed Practitioner status each year are(following the academic year in which you were licensed):
