This workshop is just one of the ways we support new and early career lecturers. It complements generic-based institutional courses that delegates attend. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance, which maps the workshop activities and outcomes to the UK Professional Standards Framework, used in institutional training, and in some cases allows exemption from some parts of institutional training.
