Over the past 25 years,I have taught at various levels and hold the PDQB level 6 (SCQF 8) playing certificate and the PDQB teaching certificate. The level 6 is the highest qualification and the teachers certificate can not be obtained without first achieving the level 6 and demonstrating an extremely high level of playing ability.
