Aims
In the Certificate, leaders will have the opportunity to:
• understand key leadership theories and ideas, from inside and outside education, and apply these to thinking about their own practice.
• draw on evidence from research and practice to develop knowledge with an understanding of what is known about successful leadership.
• relate these to their own leadership context in planning actions.
• undertake practice-based tasks enabling self-evaluation of their leadership in action.
• develop their reflective practice skills to help them to evaluate and improve their own leadership practice.
• learn collaboratively, supported by an experienced colleague(s) to share insights, and develop knowledge and skill.
Leaders can work towards the Certificate at their own pace. This will depend on their priorities and circumstances. Certification provides an international quality mark, enhancing their professional profile, and will help to open pathways for their further professional and career development.

What is the purpose of the Certificate and Diploma in Educational Leadership?
The Certificate and Diploma are designed to help leaders develop their professional thinking and practice, to enhance their:
• knowledge, skills and understanding of effective leadership
• leadership practice
• school and its effectiveness.
Leadership matters; it makes a difference to learners’ learning and achievements, the quality of teaching and the performance of schools. Research indicates that learner achievement in a school almost never exceeds the quality of its teachers and leadership. Outstanding schools are led by outstanding leaders at all levels.
Today we can identify the key ingredients of highly effective leadership. We can learn from educational research, including studies of school leaders in action in different countries and in high-performing school systems. We can also learn from research and experience outside education.
This qualification helps practising leaders to study what is known about successful leadership; to focus on the key ideas and challenges, leadership theories, and actions of highly effective leaders; to develop their reflective practice as leaders. They encourage leaders to:
• increase their knowledge and understanding of successful leadership
• develop their leadership skills
• self-evaluate their approaches to leadership
• reflect on their leadership practices
• enhance their performance as leaders.
The goal is to enrich, deepen and strengthen candidates’ leadership learning.
The focus of learning is not only on increasing leaders’ knowledge, skills and understanding, but also on improving their leadership practices.
The Certificate is grounded in the idea that leadership learning is an active process. Practising leaders do not passively receive information and knowledge, but construct it for themselves and examine ideas and insights in the light of their own experience and behaviour. The content explored in the qualifications is used to stimulate thinking, to challenge candidates’ assumptions and to shape their leadership practices. This qualification places strong emphasis on increasing candidates’ knowledge and understanding of effective leadership. This will improve their own practice and the performance of the schools in which they work.
Who is this qualification for?
The Certificate is for those who have a leadership role in schools, but also those who work in school districts, regional centres or other parts of the educational system.
It is inclusive and relevant to leaders in all teaching and learning contexts: from primary and secondary general education, to vocational education and training, to further, adult and higher education. It helps leaders to explore and apply new ideas in their own context, integrate new approaches in their own practice, and demonstrate their professional development as reflective practitioners.
The Certificate is relevant for those who are new to their leadership role or about to take up a leadership role in the near future.
It is essential that leaders can try out in practice, in their workplaces, what they learn during their study.
There are many different terms in use for ‘educational leader’, ‘learner’ and ‘learning context’. In this programme we refer to ‘leader’, ‘learner’ and ‘school’ as generic terms.
Structure
The Certificate comprises three units related to practice:
Unit 1 Understanding key concepts and theories of leadership
Unit 2 Defining successful educational leadership practice
Unit 3 Action planning for developing leadership
Candidate requirements
For the Certificate, candidates need to be:
• serving leaders, or
• demonstrate they are aspiring to be a leader and that they are ready to take up a leadership role in the near future
For this qualification, candidates need to have the regular support of an experienced, trusted colleague who:
• is in a leadership role
• understands the essential principles that underpin this qualification
• can provide helpful advice and observations.
The course
The Certificate involves approximately 120 learning hours in preparation. As much preparation time as possible is integrated within the leader’s day-today practice. Leaders should allow time for background reading and discussion with their colleagues, to enrich their reflective practice.
The course will last 15 weeks and the cost of this qualification includes all sessions (face to face and online), administration of the course and international certification from CIE.

The fee can be paid in one or more installments.

How is the Certificate assessed?
Assessment is through a portfolio of evidence, examined by Cambridge. In their portfolio, leaders demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understanding in the context of their own work, from a variety of sources:
• reflections on key concepts and leadership theories
• reports of agreed tasks which describe what was intended, what happened and a critical review of the processes and outcome
• reflections on their own leadership practice
• interviews with other leaders and feedback from them
• analysis of learning and examples of areas where their leadership has developed
• a professional development plan covering what they intend to do as leaders in the next 12 months.
