The Certificate and Diploma are programs from the University of Cambridge International Examinations, UK, and designed to help teachers develop their professional practice, quality of teaching and learning.

They focus on the development of knowledge, skills and understanding in the key aspects of teaching and learning. They are inclusive and relevant to all teaching and learning contexts; from primary and secondary general education, to vocational education and training, to further, adult and higher education. They help teachers to explore and apply new ideas in their own context, integrate new approaches in their own practice, and demonstrate their professional development as reflective practitioners.
