The HEA Fellowship CPD Route is a teaching recognition and qualification scheme for staff (academic, support, technical) and PGRs with experience of teaching and/or supporting learning in higher education. For further information, please contact kiite@keele.ac.uk
The HEA (part of the UK national teaching and learning sector organisation ‘Advance HE’) oversees and manages the UK Professional Standards Framework for Teaching and Supporting Learning in Higher Education (UKPSF), through which individuals can benchmark their experience and expertise in higher education teaching and learning support, at four categories of fellowship: Associate Fellow, Fellow, Senior Fellow and Principal Fellow.
