The RTPI Lifelong Learning Strategy sets out our vision and aims for Lifelong Learning. The RTPI vision for Lifelong Learning is to be recognised as a leader in the field of education and Lifelong Learning for professionals in the built environment. The RTPI vision and aims for lifelong learning are set out in full in the Lifelong Learning Strategy.
At the RTPI, Lifelong Learning is concerned with:
Building a culture of learning
Where learning opportunities are embraced enthusiastically, and where planners new to the profession can expect to be supported and encouraged by colleagues and peers.
Delivering high standards and spatial planning outcomes
By ensuring that all planners are committed to being the best they can be, high standards of professional competence lead directly to high quality spatial planning outcomes, whether in policy, practice, teaching or research.
Spatial planning education and careers for all
Creating learning opportunities for the public better to engage with spatial planning; career and membership opportunities for individuals with a range of backgrounds and experiences; and opportunities for planners to advance their professional competence throughout their careers.
Formal education and qualifications
The RTPI has a role in approving or accrediting formal education opportunities, which may be for the purposes of entry to the profession or for more general reasons of quality assurance.
Informal learning and individual learning
While formal education and qualifications are extremely valuable, the RTPI recognises that lifelong learning also incorporates less formal and personal learning experiences.
Support for learning
The RTPI is committed to providing the best possible support and opportunities for learning whether this is as a benefit of membership of the RTPI, or more broadly as a means of encouraging the public to engage with spatial planning.
The RTPI vision and aims for lifelong learning are set out in full in the Lifelong Learning Strategy.
