Advance HE commissioned the University of Plymouth Enterprise Ltd (UoPEL) to conduct research with UK and international institutions to assess the impact of their accreditation to award fellowships in the context of the UK Professional Standards Framework for Teaching and Supporting Learning (UKPSF). This research took place between February and August 2020.
UoPEL also conducted a literature review as part of the project, which focuses on accredited CPD schemes and the implications for institutional accreditation practices.
Advance HE Members can download the report and literature review below.
Please note, this report is focused on the UKPSF 2011. As of 1 January 2024, we are no longer accepting direct applications using this version of the framework. Find out more about the Professional Standards Framework 2023.
To find out more about the impact of accreditation, the University of Plymouth research team, led by Dr Lucy Spowart, will share the findings of the project in two webinars on 8 December at 08:30 GMT and 10 December at 13:30 GMT. Both webinars will feature the same content.
