Education Finland member companies have a wide variety of services in teacher professional development, ranging from online resources, day seminars and short courses to full degree programs.

For education leaders
Leading educational transformation processes or managing learning communities are demanding tasks that require multiple skills. In Finland it is considered necessary for educational leaders to have expertise in both organisational management and pedagogy. With such a combination of skills, they can successfully lead because they understand the design and delivery of the curriculum, and how to encourage a culture of learning.
Professional development services are available for people working in all levels of education management.
