The eligibility criteria in the call for applications for the NCELP MFL Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Spring Term Courses has been expanded to allow for wider participation.

NCELP CPD courses will take an in-depth look at Modern Foreign Language (MFL) curriculum design and pedagogy. The course will consist of five free 2.5 hour remote learning sessions over one term complemented by online peer and instructor support.

You will be successfully admitted to register for a course if: 

  • You are involved in Modern Foreign Language education (and can cascade course content to MFL colleagues, including to in-service and/or pre-service teachers or trainees). 
  • You are:
    • EITHER working in an eligible school in England (that teaches French and/or German and/or Spanish) – schools that receive public funding from the government are eligible. 
    • OR a state-funded university-based or SCITT-based teacher trainer providing courses to secondary pre-service teachers or trainees in French and/or German and/or Spanish teaching.


The deadline to apply for the Spring Term courses, which start in January 2022, is midnight on Tuesday 14 December 2021.
