Why Higher Education PgCert?

• Fellowship brings a range of benefits to develop and progress your career. It provides a valuable measure of success and is increasingly sought by employers across the higher education sector as a condition of appointment and promotion. Advance HE (formerly the Higher Education Academy) works with higher education providers and organisations to improve the professional experience of HE teachers through fellowships, accreditation, awards and professional development.
• The Higher Education PgCert provides a flexible development programme in teaching, learning and assessment for staff already teaching higher education courses. The course aims to enable you to become a competent and skilled practitioner in all aspects of teaching, learning and assessment in higher education.
• You’ll be encouraged to reflect on and embrace professional values and attitudes to teaching, learning and assessment and the course provides a framework which enables you to do this. Through this process you’ll be encouraged to reflect upon your own professional experiences and set up your own targets for professional development. This enables you to evidence engagement with the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF) and gain Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy.
• You’ll be taught by an outstanding team of teachers, including National Teaching Fellows and have access to our extensive professional and academic network which feeds directly into course design and delivery and to excellent facilities and specialist equipment.
