Your space to reflect, share and shape your future

The Professional Learning Passport (PLP) is a flexible online e-portfolio available to all EWC registrants.

It is packed with features that are designed to support you in capturing, reflecting, sharing, and planning your learning. The ultimate aim – to help you shape your ongoing professional development and practice, no matter where you are on your professional learning journey.

Your PLP belongs to you, so what you create in, or upload to it is completely confidential. Your PLP is not linked to your employment, so as long as you are registered with us, you will have access to the content you have created.

Your PLP is available via your MyEWC online account. We’ve created a handy little guide to help you get set-up. If you need any help creating an account or using your PLP, please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or call us on 029 2046 0099.

We’ve also created a series of short videos to show you how other PLP users, and organisations, are using the PLP to support the recording of professional development.

Capturing your learning

Professional learning comes in many shapes and forms, from everyday learning experiences such as discussions with colleagues, to formal qualifications. Your PLP gives you a space to capture these experiences quickly and easily.

You may already have lots of information saved in different places and in different formats. You can add all of this quickly and easily to your PLP either by using the upload tool, or using the Pebblepocket app. Our short guide shows you how to access and use the app.

If you have files already saved in Google Drive or Dropbox, you can connect your PLP to those accounts.

Reflecting on your learning

Reflecting on your experiences helps to shape your future learning, development, and practice. Why not use one of our structured templates to guide and support you as you record and reflect on your learning. Upload your thoughts in audio or video, or get creative and use the PLP's template builder to create the document that suits your needs.

Your PLP allows you to share your experiences with others, work collaboratively, and can support the performance review process. When sharing your PLP with others, you have full control over which parts of your PLP they can view, and for how long.

Engaging with your professional standards

Your PLP can support you in engaging with your professional standards. You can take any item which you have created or added to your PLP and map this to the relevant professional standards.

Anything you map to the standards will appear summarised in your standards workbook which is available on the dashboard of your PLP. When mapping evidence against the standards, you can complete a self-assessment of your progress, against that standard, using the slider bar option. The standards overview page will then give you a visual representation of your progress and can support you in identifying your areas of strength and development.

Shaping the future

The flexibility of the PLP allows individuals to record their own professional learning journey whilst also supporting the process at an organisational level.

We can work with your organisation to develop bespoke bilingual templates for your staff to record their professional learning and development. These can be used to support professional review processes, whole school projects, or cross cluster activities. There is no charge or contract fees, and the team are available to provide free ongoing bilingual support.

Research library

If you’re interested in evidence-informed practice, your PLP gives you access to EBSCO, the world’s largest full-text research database for education professionals covering all levels of education and specialities. You can even sign up to receive monthly recommendations to EBSCO content by subscribing to Meddwl Mawr, our monthly book and journal club.
