The Academy of Professional Development was established in April 2016 as a centre of excellence for medical, military and corporate education. The senior team are Paramedics by background and include previous Heads of Education for a NHS Ambulance Trust and Programme Leads from UK University programmes. Our focus is on high quality education, delivered by expert educators using state of the art facilities and equipment.
Pictured below is one of two immersive interactive spaces installed at The Academy. Using state-of-the-art technology we aim to enhance education and training by using environments to shape behaviour. There is no true replacement for 'real world' experience, but we believe this the next best option. Students have commented on the realism during medical simulation and were able to reflect on how the addition of background noise affected their performance.
We have a range of specialist courses, professional development days and offer a bespoke design and delivery service to address your education requirements. You are welcome to visit any time to see our facilities and discuss how we might be able to innovate your education and training. Please contact our Academy Director, Will to discuss in more detail (wb@academyprodev.com)

“I am delighted to be joining the team at The Academy of Professional Development in the role of
Business Development Manager on March 1 st 2017. I have been very impressed not only by the
team’s passion for immersive training, but also their vision of how future technologies will enhance
the learning environment ultimately making the development of individuals, groups and
organisations more effective, sustainable and fun! Although already well established, it is my view
that the Academy can become a centre of excellence in a wide variety of disciplines across a broad
range of business sectors. I am genuinely relishing the challenge of being part of a great team who
all have a genuine passion for assisting with personal development"
