Award of Institutional Credit in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education

This Award of Institutional Credit in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (ALTHE) is an ideal first step towards a full teaching qualification in higher education. This blended-learning course is designed for those with limited teaching experience, such as part-time staff, or those who do training, teaching assistant and support roles. The course is ideal for:

• Professionals with limited teaching responsibilities
• Those in a non-academic role with student-facing work
• Anyone wishing to complete the PGCert HE over two years
• Postgraduate researchers looking to build an academic career
• Teachers with professional/non-traditional qualifications

The course is taught online, with online materials, activities and webinars. Teaching observations and one-to-one tutorials are also included. Support is provided by the course team, your allocated personal tutor and mentors.

Most of our course graduates are already employed but some have used the course as a platform to change the nature of existing roles or to support applications for teaching focussed roles in HE institutions.
