About Dragonfly CPD

Built by people who understand frontline practice.

Dragonfly CPD is the professional training platform developed by Therapeutic Activities Group CIC — a multi-award winning social enterprise based in Wales. Learn how it works, what we stand for, and why we built it.

How It Works

Simple to access. Serious about learning.

From registration to certificate — here's the learner journey on Dragonfly CPD.

Register with your code

Staff use their organisation's registration code to create an account — automatically linked to the right pathways and seat allocation. Individual learners sign up directly.

Foundation — learn the framework

Structured modules build knowledge of the theory. Progress is tracked automatically. CPD hours logged. Certificate issued on completion.

Applied — test your judgement

Realistic practitioner scenarios, not simple recall questions. Get detailed feedback when you're wrong, then try again. This is where real learning happens.

Toolbox — use it on Monday

Practical tools, technique cards and prompts from every pathway — permanently in your account. Tick them off as you use them in real practice.

Certificates issued automatically

Complete a pathway and a named certificate is generated. CPD hours logged to your transcript — ready for Ofsted, supervision or your professional body.

Managers see everything

One dashboard shows team completion in real time. No chasing certificates. No spreadsheets. Just a clear view of who's done what.

Why We Built This

Practitioners deserve better than tick-box training.

We've seen what happens when CPD is treated as a compliance exercise. People click through slides, answer simple questions, print a certificate and forget everything by Tuesday. The training costs money. The practice doesn't change.

Dragonfly CPD was built in response to that. We wanted a platform that takes practitioners seriously — that challenges them with realistic scenarios, gives them meaningful feedback when they get something wrong, and leaves them with practical tools they can actually use.

Every pathway is grounded in real frameworks used in frontline children's services, education and therapeutic practice. We know this work. We've done it. We've supervised it. We've trained people in it for years.

"We didn't build this to sell training. We built it because the quality of CPD available to practitioners working with children was, in too many cases, not good enough."

Why Dragonfly?

The dragonfly is a symbol of adaptability, depth of sight and transformation. It sees what others miss. It moves with intention. It starts below the surface and rises. That felt right for what we were building — a platform for people who look carefully, act thoughtfully and are genuinely committed to making things better for children and young people.

What We Stand For

The values behind the platform

🎯

Practice over paperwork

Certificates matter — but what matters more is whether practitioners are more skilled after the training. Every design decision on Dragonfly CPD is made with that in mind.

🧠

Honest about learning

Getting something wrong is part of learning. We don't hide that or penalise it. Our Applied modules are designed around feedback that teaches — not a pass/fail gate.

🌱

Grounded in real frameworks

Every pathway is based on frameworks that have been developed, tested and used in real practice — not content created to fill a gap in a training catalogue.

❤️

Motivated by impact, not profit

As a social enterprise, our surplus is reinvested in services for children and young people. Investing in Dragonfly CPD is investing in more than a training platform.

🤝

Accessible to individuals

Not everyone works in a well-resourced organisation. Individual licences exist because motivated practitioners deserve access to quality CPD regardless of where they work.

🔨

Tools, not just theory

The Toolbox tier exists because learning that doesn't become action isn't learning — it's information. We want practitioners to leave with things they can actually use.

Our Approach

We're not a generic e-learning company.

💡

Content created by practitioners

Our training content is written by people who have worked directly with children and young people — not by instructional designers reading a Wikipedia article.

🔬

Frameworks that are actually used

TRM, MI, DNAV, PACE — these are frameworks with real evidence bases, used in real services. We don't invent frameworks to fill pathways.

📊

Technology that serves learning

The platform is built around the learning model — not the other way around. Features like retry-based assessment and toolbox tick-offs exist because they serve practitioners.

🏴󠁷󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Rooted in the sector

Therapeutic Activities Group CIC has worked in and alongside children's services, education and the voluntary sector in Wales for years. This platform is built from inside that experience.
