A globally recognised professional qualification for educators and education leaders
The Global ED Professional Diploma in Education and Training is a flagship professional qualification for educators, trainers, and education leaders working across international and diverse educational contexts. It is a Global ED proprietary qualification, designed and assessed to the standard of Level 5 on the UK Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). It is not a regulated UK government qualification, but is developed to the same academic and professional level, with full transparency about its nature and standing.
Unlike qualifications designed for a single national system, this Diploma is built for the global educator. Whether working in a school in the Gulf, a university in Africa, a training organisation in Europe, or an education ministry in Southeast Asia, participants apply their learning directly to their own professional context. Assessment is through portfolio evidence, professional observation, and written assignments, ensuring the Diploma reflects real competence rather than academic knowledge alone.
On successful completion, graduates are awarded the Global ED Professional Diploma in Education and Training, recognised across the Global ED international partner network. The Diploma is available through Global ED directly and through authorised Global ED regional delivery partners.
