Courses and resources

About this course:

The focus of the ASPIRE Guidance Workshop is professional recognition for teaching and supporting learning in Higher Education.

This two hour workshop offers a chance to make a start on drafting your application for HEA Associate Fellowship through the University of Exeter's Accrediting Staff Professionalism in Research-Led Education (ASPIRE) Professional Recognition Pathway (PRP).

We'll spend some time exploring the UK Professional Standards Framework, and the descriptor for Associate Fellowship; we'll also look at your own education practice, and how you can translate this into making a claim for AFHEA.

PLEASE NOTE: This Workshop is NOT for participants in the LTHE programme - if this is you, please contact: lthe@exeter.ac.uk While ASPIRE Guidance Workshops are open to all academic and Professional Services colleagues with a role in teaching and supporting learning, you might find the Fellowship Category Tool (under Resources below) helpful in deciding which workshop to attend.

We also offer workshops for Fellowship, Senior Fellowship, and Principal Fellowship.

These sessions will run online; once you've booked on to the workshop, we'll be in touch with the MS Teams link.
