Learning & Development

What is FDA Learn?

Our FDA Learn professional development programme offers specialised masterclasses, conferences and events to address a wide range of skills which are closely matched to the Civil Service Success Profiles.


All of our webinars are free to attend for FDA and Keystone members. If you register to attend the webinar and find you cannot attend at the time, you can still view the webinar after the event. All registered delegates are sent a link to view the slides and video after each webinar.

Webinars are available to non members for £25 per person. Please email FDALearn@fda.org.uk to book your space.
