Hi there hatthar,
PDA is next level up from the HNC and is considered as a management qualification (equivalent to SVQ4). it took me just under a year to complete, and i attended 4 study days during that time. I had 5 modules to complete (promotion of language and literacy,quality issues, European perspectives, effective leadership and a professional study), but i think it has now changed to 8 modules which are supposed to take a year and a half to complete. SQA is the examination board, and i did it through James Watt College, Greenock who were really good. Do a search on the internet for PDA in Childcare adn education and see what it comes up with, or go onto the James Watt website. What area of Scotland are you from? I'm in Argyll and Bute region!
Anyway, good luck with it,
W.
