Continuing Professional Development Courses at Happy

We now have a range of Continuing Professional Development, or CPD, certified courses. CPD is an essential, recognised approach to helping you keep your skills and knowledge up to date. It supports conscious and pro-active learning and demonstrates commitment towards your role or profession. Our CPD certified courses have been checked by a third party, including all handouts, slides and other supporting learning materials. This ensures our courses have the latest information and are relevant to your role.

Case Study: Energise

"Like many in leadership positions, I initially wondered whether another development programme would truly offer something different. There's often a concern that leadership training can feel overly theoretical or too prescriptive," says Laura Cristea, Head of Marketing at Energise. "But from the very first session, Happy put those concerns to rest. The approach is thoughtful and inclusive, with a clear understanding of how to make learning feel energising."

Case Study: Dorset Mental Health Forum
