Postgraduate professional development

Teachers’ learning and development doesn’t end with ITT. For some teachers and teams of teachers, the most effective learning and development is a sustained, in-depth programme of study that leads to a postgraduate award. The TDA has developed a Postgraduate Professional Development (PPD) programme which funds this type of provision.

The PPD programme provides subsidies to providers of PPD which leads to a minimum of a postgraduate certificate. The subsidy is calculated per participant. Currently only those with QTS are eligible.

These pages present information on the PPD programme. They:

  • provide information on other funding rounds
