While we specialise in bespoke solutions, PunkPD has been inundated with requests to create and host open access courses in recent years. In response, we created a suite that continues to grow as we respond to your requests.
Designed with passion, grounded in contemporary and future-focused research, we facilitate with our unique Group Coaching Methodology that you have come to know and love so that your learning needs remain front and centre!
At PunkPD, our mission is to ‘transform potential into capability’.
Simply put, this means we aim to make life easier for people.
A beautiful way we’ve decided to do this is to offer multiple models of professional development so people can choose the model that works best for their needs and preferences.
Lovingly, we’ve called our professional development models:
These include extended professional development programs held across multiple months
These include half day, full day and two-day intensive professional development programs
