Career Pathways for School and Trust Business Professionals

There are four career pathways for School and Trust Business Professionals from entry through to executive level, which correspond with the practitioner levels of the ISBL Professional Standards.

The first stage in identifying your practitioner level is to undertake a self-assessment against the Professional Standards.
