Programme Structure

Candidates must be able to satisfy the LJMU and Faculty admissions requirements in one of the following ways (subject to availability of places) The programme team welcomes applications from staff who support learning in the HE sector. This includes permanent full and part-time lecturing staff; teaching assistants; staff in learner support roles; researchers with a substantive teaching role and colleagues from the FE or community/voluntary sectors who work on HE programmes. Applicants should be graduates or possess an equivalent qualification or its equivalence. This is not a pre-service award so it is not suitable for applicants who wish to enter HE teaching. The programme leader will advise on other, more appropriate routes for such applicants. Applicants should be in a teaching and learning role. To benefit from the programme and to enable them to meet the assessment requirements applicants should normally be working with students for 6 hours a week for the duration of the programme. The programme leader will discuss these requirements with applicants as appropriate. A CPD award is available for those with fewer teaching hours. Applicants must have formal support from their line manager. This support includes permission to attend the workshop sessions (except for AP(E)L candidates) and time for completion of the assessments. Applicants with existing nationally recognised teaching qualifications may apply for APL against modules 7006PCLTHE. A brief statement supporting the APL claim must be provided. Applicants who do not have English as their first language should have a 7.0 score on the International English Language Testing System or equivalent competence. Nursing and Midwifery applicants wishing to be placed on the NMC teacher register on completion of the award must: * be current registered practitioners with the NMC * have a minimum of three year's post-registration experience * be able to deliver a minimum of 360 hours of relevant teaching and assessing in practice and academic settings in higher education
