Transforming education and training in the Middle East: Cardiff and Vale College’s vision

Cardiff and Vale College (CAVC) offers innovative solutions in professional development for teachers in the Middle East.

With a focus on transforming skills and learning outcomes, CAVC works with local partners to deliver the British Teaching Diploma to meet the region's evolving needs.

The British Teaching Diploma is a pioneering Level 7 professional development programme created by CAVC in partnership with Dragonfly Training Ltd. It addresses the global demand for high-quality professional development for educators, particularly in overseas settings. With 12 modules tailored to enhance teaching performance and student outcomes, the programme is delivered online, in blended formats, or in person.

The British Teaching Diploma has seen remarkable success in Jordan, where the programme’s local delivery is supported by a strong partnership with ISHRAQ and Talal Abu-Ghazaleh University college for Innovation, which contribute significantly to its successful implementation. The British Teaching Diploma is currently in its 5th cohort in Jordan, and CAVC plans to expand the programme into the GCC.

Cardiff and Vale College’s initiatives in aviation training and professional development demonstrate its commitment to supporting the Middle East’s aspirations for skill transformation and educational excellence.
