About Us

The 14-19 education sector is undergoing wide-ranging reform which affects everyone involved in the sector. The Suffolk 14-19 Strategy Team is responsible for implementing these changes within Suffolk and, as part of its strategy, has established a 14-19 Professional Development Centre (PDC) for Suffolk.

The Suffolk 14-19 PDC is a county-wide resource to support continuing professional development (CPD) for all teaching and support staff in Suffolk schools, FE colleges and work-based learning providers involved in planning and delivering the applied curriculum, including the new Diplomas. 

The Suffolk 14-19 PDC is co-ordinated from West Suffolk College and will signpost people to a wide range of courses and CPD opportunities available across the county, run by a number of different organisations.
