Some Cambridge schools registered as online are approved as exam venues. Candidates can either be entered for exams directly by the centre and sit their exams as regular candidates, or they can enter as private candidates at other Cambridge exam venues. Many Cambridge schools registered as online do not have their own exam venue, so candidates must register to sit their exams as private candidates at a Cambridge exam venue convenient for them.
Leadership learning is based on the twin concepts of active learning and reflective practice. Taking this certificate and diploma will help you to:
Increase the knowledge of relevant theories and research findings to inform and deepen their reflections. The qualifications aim to strengthen the ability of practising leaders to learn from experience. They do this through the opportunities provided to reflect, analyse and self-evaluate their actions.

The spiral of professional learning in a Cambridge PDQ programme depends particularly on three processes:
- (a) Observation.
- (b) Reflection.
- (c) Learning with and from mentors.
These processes work together. It is crucial that learners will receive feedback to inform their continuous reflection on their learning experiences.
Observation and reflection will be provided with the support of a mentor. The mentor develops a learning relationship with the candidate, supporting them during their work- based learning to make the most of the learning experience and to achieve the Cambridge qualification.
