There are different opportunities for academic staff who are new to the University and/or new to teaching in HE in general.
Postgraduate Certificate Teaching in Higher Education
The course aims to develop an evidence-based, reflective, and critical approach to learning, teaching, and assessment in Higher Education.
It leads to Advance HE Fellowship status via the University’s framework for continuing professional development (TALENT) and it is led by staff from the Sheffield Institute of Education. It is for academic staff who do not hold a teaching qualification in higher education and there are limited places each year.

Academic Induction
The Academic Development & Inclusion (ADI) Team, run a professional LTA development programme for all members of staff who teach or support learning at Hallam. This programme consists of 4 strands:
- Introduction to Teaching, Learning and Assessment
- Inclusive Practice
- Staff Roles
- University Systems and Processes
The Introduction to Teaching, Learning and Assessment focus on the design and facilitation of learning, teaching and assessment, with lots of practical ideas and resources. This strand is particularly recommended for staff who are relatively new to teaching.
However, all of the sessions are open to everyone.
The sessions can be completed in any order. Some are taught sessions (face to face), some are taught online, some are self-access online modules, and some are recordings of sessions. You can take part in as many or as few as you wish. You may wish to record those sessions you plan to attend in your Professional Development Review.
