King's College London - Professional Education (KPED)
King’s Professional & Executive Development (KPED) is a specialist team at King's College London. We work with UK and international, private and public sector organisations to develop and deliver customised solutions in executive education, continuing professional development, and educational consultancy.
We manage open enrolment short courses at King’s and the newly developed micro-credentials - these are credit bearing short courses with standalone value, which can also be ‘stacked’ into a postgraduate qualification.
The KPED team do this by partnering with colleagues across all our faculties, as well as King’s Health Partners and NHS Trusts to develop services that offer clients an intellectually stimulating academic environment, forge international links and develop the practical skills to ensure they remain at the forefront of their sector.
