Course summary

Course overview

The Academic Professional apprenticeship provides an easily accessible and high quality route to meet the professional development needs of practitioners who are new to teaching and supporting learning roles in higher education.

It is suitable for all new academic employees with less than three years鈥� experience in higher education, and will provide the pathway for employees to reach their full professional competence.

Apprentices come from a range of institutions, and this offers them the opportunity for rich collaborative work and discussion. It is an 18 month course at level 7 and both the apprenticeship standard and End Point Assessment Plan are aligned to the current editions of the Higher Education Academy UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF).

Course delivery is varied, and includes professional development activities, peer observations and workshops. It is a work-based course and can be accessed nationally using a hybrid delivery model.

How you learn

While studying the academic professional route you are entitled to an allocation of at least 20% of your normal work-time for academic study, which is agreed with your employer. You study this course on a part-time basis, however your programme includes elements delivered using distance learning, blended learning and there are initial blocks of teaching for each module. All modules include work-based elements and application of theory to practice.

The course is managed and taught by principal and senior lecturers who all hold either fellowship or senior fellowship of the Higher Education Academy.

How you are assessed

Apprentices are provided with course and module guides containing comprehensive information about their assessments. They complete a portfolio for each module. However these will differ in content in order to reflect the different purpose of each module. Apprentices then use some of the content from these portfolios to develop three further assessment tasks to satisfy the end-point assessment of the academic professional route they are studying.

Their progression through the course will be discussed at regular meetings with the course team and workplace mentors. Formative assessment, includes, but is not limited to, online discussions, individual feedback about any draft pieces of evidence, synchronous and asynchronous discussions, as well as observers鈥� comments on observed teaching sessions.

Career opportunities

Participants on the course can progress to the MA Education.
