2017 National Professional Qualifications (NPQs)

Accredited NPQ Provider.

The Department for Education (DfE) will cease the 2017 National Professional Qualification (NPQ) model at the end of August 2022. We are no longer able to accept applications for this framework. 

From autumn 2021, a reformed suite of NPQs will be available for teachers and leaders who want to develop their knowledge and skills in school leadership and specialist areas of teaching practice. We will be offering the reformed suite of NPQ's in partnership with Leadership Learning South East (LLSE). To apply, please visit this page - Reformed National Professional Qualifications (NPQs).

All current participants on the 2017 NPQ framework are required to submit their final assessment by March 2022. We are unable to process deferral requests where re-engagement (including that of assessment submissions) would take you beyond March 2022. This will enable participant's time to make their assessment submission, allow internal marking and release of results.

If you have any questions, you can contact us by email at NPQ@wlv.ac.uk.
