The Cambridge Centre for Teaching & Learning is introducing new teaching qualifications and development opportunities for new and experienced teaching staff and professional services staff involved in supporting students' learning. Successful completion of accredited activities results in nationally recognised accreditation by Advance HE.
All accredited provision by CCTL is offered to Cambridge staff without a course fee.
Advancing Educational Practice Programme
This new, nine-month taught cohort programme is accredited by Advance HE at the level of Fellow; all participants who successfuly complete the programme will become Fellows of the Higher Education Academy.

You will work on a series of formatively-assessed assignments during the year, and to complete the programme will prepare an extended reflective account of practice.
In this first year we are offering up to 35 places on the programme.
Applications close on Monday 29 August. For more information, programme dates and to apply, please visit the Advancing Educational Practice Programme webpage.
