Topic-focused Programmes
BUV Training Centre offers Cambridge Professional Development Qualifications (PDQ) Programmes. Each certificate will follow the recommended format of three elements (classroom, online, and practical workplace learning components) of 40 hours each.

Work-based learning will happen throughout the programme and tasks, responses, and reflection will be related to topics being studied during guided learning in set classes on campus.
Individual and collaborative work will also happen throughout the programme, with projects that can call upon the problems associated with work-based practice and the theory being learned in the classroom.
Learning will be a combination of classroom learning scheduled on evenings and weekends, as well as online learning and workplace practical learning. These short courses will provide teachers with opportunities to explore, practice, and experience best practices.
