If you have completed the accredited Postgraduate Certificate in TLHE since August 2012 the TLHE team will apply for HEA Fellowship on your behalf. This process will take place shortly after your award has been confirmed by the TLHE Exam Board which usually meets in January/February of any given year. You will be contacted to confirm that you wish to apply for Fellowship and will be asked to complete a short form confirming your contact details. As this is an accredited provision there is no fee involved.
If you completed the accredited programme prior to August 2012 you will need to apply directly to the HEA for fellowship. Again, as this is an accredited provision there is no fee involved. The HEA has issued revised guidance with further information about this process. This memo is of particular importance if you completed the TLHE programme before January 2011.
If you have not completed the accredited TLHE programme but wish to apply for HEA Fellowship we have created a sample application that you can use as a guide when applying. If you require any support in applying please contact the TLHE team, alternatively you may wish to discuss your application with a current member of the HEA. Current members are listed below.
See a list of University of Bristol staff who are Fellows of the HEA.
The HEA are inviting colleagues to complete a short survey giving their views on a proposed 'Code of Practice' for HEA Fellows. The code of practice would support fellows in demonstrating their ongoing commitment to excellence in teaching and supporting learning which is closely aligned with the United Kingdom Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF). Further information can be found on the HEA website.
