PRACTICAL EDUCATION FOR EVERYDAY LIFE
ICPED is the International Centre for Practical Education & Development. We create short courses that help people understand everyday challenges, make thoughtful choices and put useful skills into practice.
HELLO, WE’RE ICPED
Short, practical courses for caring, confidence, everyday skills and life’s next chapter.
Learn for yourself, or give useful understanding to a relative, friend or helper. ICPED connects everyday situations with ideas you can try at your own pace.
Everyday life looks different from one household to another. Examples draw on varied circumstances, such as regular or uncertain work, shared family responsibilities, unreliable electricity, limited internet data, and different ways of reaching shops, schools or clinics. With low-income and mixed-resource settings in mind—including parts of Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and elsewhere—the courses help you choose ideas that fit your own resources, routines and support.
WHERE A LITTLE UNDERSTANDING CAN HELP
A sibling, cousin or friend may be doing their best while juggling meals, appointments and family responsibilities. Learning can help them notice unmet needs and make a clearer plan with the person they support.
Mum is getting forgetful and says she has already changed her clothes. A helper can learn to avoid an argument, offer a simple choice and check what is making the task difficult.
Try this real-world example →Someone may be pulling Dad up by his arms because they have never had guidance. Learning can help them recognise risky shortcuts, prepare the surroundings and know when individual assessment and hands-on training are needed.
FOR THE PERSON WHO HELPS AT HOME
Support a willing relative, friend or helper with calmer conversations, clearer medicine records, safer home planning and better preparation for clinic visits.
