The Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCAPHE) is run by the Academic Skills Centre.
It is a continuing professional development (CPD) Master's level course in academic practice, which provides professional recognition for those who teach in an HE environment. The key aim is to enable the exploration and enhancement of the knowledge, skills and values required of effective practitioners in higher education. The associate module of the course is mandatory for all probationary lecturers.
