Gain your PGCHE with a TEF gold standard university and excel in your teaching career

The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) was introduced by the UK Government to assess higher education (HE) providers in the UK, and ensure HE teaching standards are maintained at a consistently high level.

At Falmouth University - ranked gold in the TEF in 2017 - we offer a flexible online Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCHE) that incorporates the use of learning technologies into its framework, as recommended by the UK's Association for Learning Technology in its response to the TEF.

Our PGCHE course adopts a ‘learn by doing' approach, enabling you explore and try out online and blended teaching methods under the guidance and support of our expert tutors.
 

Who is the course for?

The course is a great fit for your career goals if you're:

  • Building your career in Higher Education
  • A university lecturer
  • A student support worker
  • An international teacher working outside of the UK

Pursue your academic career goals while studying flexibly online

  • Gain a unique opportunity to join a global network of like-minded students from different disciplines and backgrounds - equipping you with new perspectives and ideas for your teaching and learning practice
  • Acquire hands-on experience in learning technologies and immediately apply the knowledge and skills you gain to your teaching practice

What modules will you cover?

The modules you'll cover during the course are:

  • Supporting Student Learning - Apply a range of theories, concepts and practices to help plan your teaching. You'll be encouraged to demonstrate your understanding of pedagogy within your own context of teaching practice. 
  • Developing Flexible Learning Environments - Further explore and develop the delivery of student learning in different environments, especially online and blended learning. You'll be provided with opportunities to engage with technology and create curriculums that support flexible, inclusive online and/or blended classroom learning.

 

Is this course the right choice for you?

This course is a perfect fit for your career goals if you'd like to:

  • Push the limits of your practice by having the freedom to try out new ideas within a supportive environment
  • Become more confident in your teaching practice and your ability to respond to the rapidly-shifting HE sector and its growing emphasis on the online student experience
  • Develop your knowledge and skills in using online and blended learning delivery to support and enhance student learning
  • Get expert help with preparing your applications for various professional bodies worldwide - such as a portfolio for Fellowship recognition (FHEA) from the Higher Education Academy (HEA) in the UK

  • Online presentations to introduce you to key concepts of teaching
  • Guided online e-seminars, forums, discussions and activities to facilitate interaction
  • Online evaluation of teaching and learning practice as a valuable opportunity to gain feedback from your peers and tutors
