Cambridge Professional Development Qualifications (Cambridge PDQs) are offered through approved Cambridge Professional Development Centres, quality assured by Cambridge. The Programme Leaders are accredited by Cambridge to develop and manage the programmes.
We are developing a comprehensive network of Cambridge Professional Development Centres so that schools, leaders and teachers have ready access to quality and affordable Cambridge PDQ programmes.
There are two main types of centre:
- Cambridge school - Cambridge schools running an internal, school-based programme for their own teachers or a programme open to teachers in their local area.
- Cambridge Professional Development provider - training providers running an external programme for Cambridge teachers in their local area.
The Cambridge Professional Development Centre approval process takes approximately four months. The steps in the process are summarised below.
