PPLE College requires teaching staff to join tutor trainings twice per year. The contract includes time for training and development. For tutors who become an academic mentor, a coaching training will be offered for which you will receive a recognised diploma.

The UvA also offers a wide range of courses and training programmes in areas such as talent and career development, effective (team) working, and health and vitality.
