IEP Learning Awards 2024

The IEP Learning Awards were launched in 2023, at the inaugural IEP Basecamp for frontline practitioners and first-line managers. The awards have been designed to celebrate those members and practitioners who have qualified through IEP Learning, supported IEP Learners, provided high quality learning to our members and those who have demonstrated the learning outcomes from IEP learning.

There are 8 separate awards categories (outlined below) which will be awarded throughout the day by our event host Dan Howard FIEP. We will be celebrating many people from frontline practitioners to partners of the IEP.

The final 3 shortlisted candidates from each category will be invited to IEP Basecamp on 10th October 2024.

I never thought for a minute that I would win the Learning Impact of the Year Award. It’s absolutely amazing. I’m so honoured to be awarded for basically doing my job, helping people into work, and supporting, coaching them. I cannot put into words how I feel about winning the award. It’s just unreal
