For teachers and school leaders, Stellar offers Cambridge Professional Development Qualifications (PDQs), globally respected professional development programmes that strengthen teaching practice and leadership capacity. In 2025, the results of Stellar’s PDQ graduates in Educational Leadership were particularly noteworthy, with several earning distinctions, evidence of both the quality of training and the growing leadership potential within Saudi schools.
