PDRi/PDRC is primarily committed to bringing new trends in Professional Qualification based on Research Initiatives, which means to bring development to the professionals mainly via Professional Research, training, Online Action Research. PDRi is, thus, striving to carry new and advanced concepts to the body of knowledge. Formal structural education system both online and on-campus is in vogue in every part of the world. A little attention is paid to professional executive qualifications, mainly for on-job professionals. This Concept is based on the assumption that every person can not afford to pursue traditional education due to family and job pressures. Many experiments in the West like U.S.A., UK, France have taken place, and new terminologies like R.P.L. recognize prior learning, E.B.D. Experience-based education, FTES fast track education system, and so many others have evolved. All these methodologies have been designed so delicately that some persons try to gain camouflage under them and set into selling education in the wrong ways. The honorary Chief Adviser of this organization, Dr. Zaher Shah, a researcher and expert in career development and counseling, with expertise in professional continuing qualification, was having since long a desire to put forward a professional, friendly methodology of learning and development through Research and problem-solving mechanisms. The main approach for this purpose relied on the assessment & evaluation of existing competencies on the basis of Research. Here, Research implies testing, verify, and enhance the intensity and frequency of the prospective candidate. The Research intended for the purpose may vary from simple Assignment to Research Article or Project. Unlike conventional schooling, this set of schooling does not fall in some national or internationally schemed frameworks of education and regulatory entities. However, PDRi presents a plate form for such activities keeping in view the needs, environment, and  busy work schedule of the on job  professionals

So in this way, PDRi presents a unique, adventurous, innovative idea of enhancing professionalism, keeping in view the challenges of the 21st century and post-modernism era. To give a practical shape to the ideas of PDRi members, various memorandums and agreements have been made with multiple entities/bodies/institutions and Research related centers around the world. However, we have decided to work in collaboration with the two institutions, namely 1. TRACCERT Canada, 2. EIU-European International University France. Traccert Canada is selected because Canadian professional qualification is the most trusted worldwide for attaining high profile jobs and AAAC of Canada accredits it.

Similarly, the European International University, inc. Paris is also a very standard selection. For the first time in the history of humanity, it has touched on a unique framework of the qualification system. 

For Overseas Pakistanis, we strive to bring flexible, customized ways of certification.  

Most importantly, working professionals who seek to upgrade their knowledge and skills in specialized vocations could benefit from E.I.U.’s flexible programs, enabling them to study while working. Unlike academic learning, there is a direct application for learning in the vocational & professional streams, hence increasing chances of employment and job promotions compared to others without such learning experiences. It is a well-known fact that people often pursue Vocational Education & Professional Training (VEPT) to achieve their dream jobs.

In addition, most of the learned and highly marketable Vocational Skills are practically useful worldwide, creating employment opportunities globally. Apart from the many personal and professional benefits that VEPT provides to an individual, it is a well-accepted fact that it also serves as a great asset to the economy of any country, i.e., the catalyst for national growth.

WHY PDRI/PDRC?

The idea of PDRi is like  an attack on the existing traditional vocational and professional qualifications and to discover and implement overseas-friendly continuing qualifications. The main target of this initiative is to give precedence to Overseas Pakistanis, especially in the Middle East.  To further facilitate them, PDRI is proud to tell that the FEE structure for all such programs, is the most economical and can be paid in easy installments.
