Training and development
Our GTAs play an essential role in the delivery of an excellent student experience across undergraduate and postgraduate courses within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Given the importance of the role, the FSE Teaching Academy offers a range of training to support you in performing your duties.
For the academic year 2022-23, all GTAs must complete the following training modules:
- Learning Outcomes and Lesson Plans
- Roles and Expectations
- Teaching Skills
Further role dependent modules are available and should be completed if relevant to your appointed position.
To access the training modules and a copy of the Training Handbook, you will require your University of Manchester username and password. If you are unable to access the Training Hub please contact Sarah Hewitt (FSE GTA Lead).
Core modules for all staff
In addition to GTA-specific modules, the University of Manchester requires all staff to attend compulsory training run by the Staff Learning and Development (SLD) team.
This training includes:
- PGR Student Health and Safety Induction Mandatory Module 1 (FSESSPGR-IND001)
- Fire Awareness
- Diversity in the Workplace
- Information Security & Data Protection
Links to these modules are also provided through the FSE GTA Training Hub. If you encounter any issues with these training modules, please contact Staff Learning and Development.
HEA Fellowship
GTAs who complete the required training modules will be provided with a certificate which enables enrolment on our FSE GTA Leadership in Education Awards Programme. This will support you in completing an application for Associate Fellowship of Advance HE (formerly the Higher Education Academy); a qualification that will enhance your teaching career and professional development.
Further information on Fellowships is available at the Leadership in Education Awards Programme webpages.
