Training Courses

“Imran has delivered three sessions for teachers and headteachers within the district over the past few months and each has been extremely well received. His knowledge and understanding is excellent and he selects content very carefully to match training needs. Imran’s delivery is highly engaging and he quickly establishes an excellent rapport with his audience, including a number of activities to challenge misconceptions and to ensure a much deeper understanding of Islam. We have been delighted to establish a close working relationship with Imran and many of our schools have booked further sessions with Muslim Learner Services.”

"Imran Kotwal, from the Muslim Learner Services, delivered an excellent training session for teachers in the East Riding on life events in Islam — birth, marriage, and death. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and approachable, creating a safe space for open discussion and genuine learning. Imran shared his faith and experiences with warmth and clarity, helping us gain a much deeper understanding of Islamic beliefs and practices. The session was both informative and thought-provoking, and many of us left feeling inspired and more confident in supporting our pupils and families. Over the past few years, I have booked Imran to lead staff training for teachers across the local authority as our SACRE fund this. I would highly recommend Imran’s training to any school or staff team."

“I have been delighted to work with Imran Kotwal and Muslim Learner Services for over three years now. I first booked sessions with him for Frodsham Manor House Primary School where he led a whole school assembly and worked with a further three classes during the day. Imran continues to work with us on an annual basis and the children have come to know him well and look forward to his visits to enhance our learning on Islam. He has also led workshops for Cheshire West Primary School pupil workshops which are always lively and engaging. He has led county CPD on the teaching of Islam and a session at our Agreed Syllabus launch on misconceptions. Once you meet Imran, you will want him to come to meet your pupils. I have always found Imran to be friendly, approachable, adaptable, reflective and open to any questions which you may have. I am confident that any session for pupils or staff will be an excellent use of your time and resources.”

“Imran is an excellent trainer and presenter, bringing a wealth of expertise and a willingness to adapt to meet the needs of the groups he is working with. The training is practical and informative, supporting teachers in developing their subject knowledge alongside offering practical classroom resources. Imran’s training uses a range of resources including artefacts, videos, images and worksheets and training is always relevant and engaging. Feedback from the various inset training we have offered have always been 100% positive. Teachers have gone away feeling supported and encouraged and are enthusiastic about applying their learning in the classroom. I cannot recommend Imran highly enough.”

“I have worked with Imran for a number of years now. He provides informative, engaging training sessions to which my trainee teachers respond very well. His sessions regularly score 9.0 out of a possible 10 – this was one of the highest scored sessions this year.”
