Our Cambridge PDQs cover six areas:

What’s new
Three new qualifications
We have developed three new qualifications to expand our Cambridge PDQ offering. Please see the latest syllabus information for full details:
Updated model structure
Cambridge PDQs are made up of three modules. Module 1 can be taken on its own as the certificate. Candidates can then progress to Modules 2 and 3 to complete the Diploma.
The Diploma can also now be taken as a standalone qualification allowing candidates to tailor their learning journey to meet their specific goals and aspirations.
