This work provides colleagues involved in teaching, assessment and supporting learning with coherent and flexible pathways for continuing development. We have accreditation for this overarching framework from the Higher Education Academy.
About the framework
The Continuing Professional Development Framework provides you with a range of great opportunties to develop as a teacher and work toward Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy. These include the Introduction to Academic Practice, the PG Cert in Academic Practice and the Edinburgh Teaching Award.
Through this framework you can gain different levels of Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (HEA). Becoming a Fellow of the HEA provides national recognition of your commitment to professionalism in teaching and learning in higher education.
