When you register, we will give you access to the Student Portal. You can then access your University of London email account and other key resources including:

• The Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) which offers online learning support, access to peer-review software, reflective activities, informal discussion areas and links to resources.
• The Online Library which contains thousands of journal articles. A dedicated helpdesk is available if you have any difficulties in finding what you need.

Time Commitment

The flexible approach to learning allows students to complete the programme in a minimum of one academic year to a maximum of five years.
Modules will run twice a year for added flexibility of study. We expect participants to undertake one module per session, starting with ‘Module 1: Thinking about Learning’.

All essential resources, activities, videos, discussions and support are provided through the VLE. This allows you to fit your studies around your work commitments. There is no need to purchase additional textbooks.

A handbook will also be provided so that the Critical Friend (who is not your line manager or head teacher) understands their role. The Critical Friend will observe your professional practice with an objective eye and make notes to support reflective discussions.

The programme comprises two core 30credit honours level modules:

Module 1: Thinking about Learning

You will study theories about how learning happens in the classroom and what research tells us about learning. To achieve this, you will develop a learning journal based around your teaching role, which will help you reflect on your practice and your professional development as a teacher. This module will be assessed through the submission of a Portfolio of Activity, evidence of Professional Practice and a short essay assignment.

Module 2: Learning in Teaching

This module focuses on assessment for learning and inclusion. It will help you understand the diverse needs of students. It will help you think beyond the course to your own professional development

as a reflective practitioner. This module will be assessed through submission of three short essays, making up one assignment which explores the themes developed from the teaching of the module.

You will need to complete both modules successfully to be awarded the Certificate. You must commence Module 1 before beginning Module 2. This means that the whole Certificate will take place across two sessions.

Assessment: Assessment is based on the completion of coursework for each module, with no written examinations.
