National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) are a national, voluntary suite of qualifications designed to support the professional development of teachers and leaders.
The reformed NPQs offer the best possible support to teachers and leaders wanting to expand their knowledge and skills.
The frameworks continue the robust method of design and development, building on the evidence base and expert guidance already established in the ECF and the ITT Core Content Framework.
NPQs complete a golden thread, running from initial teacher training through to school leadership.
