Professional education at King’s provides an exciting opportunity for you to benefit from an intellectually stimulating academic environment, forge international links and develop the practical skills to ensure you remain at the forefront of your sector.

King’s Professional & Executive Development (KPED) works with private and public sector organisations to develop and deliver customised initiatives, focussed on the client’s development objectives and challenges.

KPED partners with the faculties at King’s to develop bespoke services for national and international private and public-sector organisations; these services include: Executive Education, Continuing Professional Development and Educational Consultancy.

As a specialist business interface unit, KPED provides a gateway for the external world to access King’s expertise by bringing together academics, business and government, and by enabling the design and delivery of bespoke programmes and projects.

By working in collaboration with our clients, we develop genuine partnerships that enable us to design and deliver learning programmes and consultancy services which offer specific value to an organisation and make a real and substantial difference in the work place. The KPED team supports the development of programmes and consultancy initiatives from conception to ensure they meet the client’s objectives, challenges and specific learning needs.

We develop customised solutions that are tailored according to each individual client’s requirements. We can develop consultancy packages, short courses, master's programmes and everything in between. We have extensive experience internationally, working with government and non-government organisations, hospitals, charities, research facilities and private sector organisations. 

We have experience working with private and public sector organisations globally to develop and deliver customised solutions, focusing on internal development objectives and challenges.

We recognise that every client is different and every learning solution is unique. We draw on the expertise of our world-renowned faculty and specialise in applying the latest academic thinking to organisational development objectives.

We will partner with you to ensure we design and deliver a learning solution that offers you specific value, making a real and substantial difference in your workplace and for your stakeholders.

Our learning philosophy

Every programme of work we develop is unique, but the same learning philosophy applies to each:

• Academic rigour proven by excellence in research
• Critical internal selection of faculty for executive programmes
• Knowledge-transfer approach
• Integrated and interactive learning environment
• Blended learning using case-studies, self-study, simulations, role-plays and site visits
• Peer learning and cross-sector sharing
• Assessment of learning outcomes and impact evaluation

Our approach: working in partnership with our clients

Our programmes are not 'out of the box' solutions; they are developed to meet specific learning needs and objectives. To achieve this we work in close collaboration with you, at all stages of the process, to ensure we understand and deliver exactly what you wish to achieve, both in the short and long term.

The location and mode of delivery is flexible; it might suit you to come to London, or have academics visit your location, or it may make the most sense to deliver online (or it may be a combination of these). Similarly, the solutions we develop range from a one-day course, to a fully bespoke master's level course, delivered over a number of months, or a tailored education consultancy package.

These programmes offer individuals the opportunity to learn in the heart of London with renowned faculty and practical subjects ranging from leadership to finance.
