"We are delighted with the online teaching programme that Advance HE developed for us. When our face-to-face programme was delayed because of Covid-19, we were really pleased that Advance HE would work with us to support participants with their immediate challenge of teaching online.”
Lyudmila Tatsenko, Head of Education, British Council Ukraine Teaching Excellence Programme

"Initially, I had reservations about working with external researchers but these were unfounded. I particularly welcomed working in partnership with researchers who were familiar with the issues we face. The ease of contacting them was fantastic and I really was delighted that the final report was delivered ahead of schedule.”

"By collaborating with other schools it has shown that there are a number of shared issues, challenges and areas of focus for development across the sector … The project has helped foster relationships with our peers and through these we are now starting to build on some of the ideas generated during the project work.”

"The Race Equity training is well-designed, thorough, and provides an appropriate level of challenge to staff. It has provoked discussion, reflection and changes in policy and behaviour amongst staff; it has also been extremely well-received – unusual for compulsory training.”
Alice Wilby, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Access, Participation and Student Experience), University College Birmingham

"The Academic Leadership Programme was very useful because after the workshop I am able to perceive problems more easily and also to react to them better, maybe more lastingly. I am grateful to the organizers for a new network of like-minded companions with similar challenges.”

"The extended modular approach over which the development took place enabled deeper reflection and learning and working with real-life scenarios (adapted for confidentiality) helped development as a leader and manager.”
Dr Sally Jackson, Chief People Officer, Sheffield Hallam University

"From the outset, it was clear that Advance HE understood Sheffield Hallam’s mission to transform lives and that our mission and strategy informed their approach to engagement with Board Members to conduct the review. The Board welcomed the opportunity to review its performance and, in particular, to benchmark its survey results against other institutions; this was particularly helpful in providing insight and assurance as to what ‘good’ governance looks like.”
Lord Kerslake, Chair of Sheffield Hallam University, Board of Governors

"Working with Advance HE on our governance review has been an absolute pleasure. They have a comprehensive understanding of the democratic and governance workings of Students’ Unions, which meant that we did not have to spend time explaining our structures to them. As we were their first SU client we were able to structure the work with them that will definitely benefit any other SU who works with them in the future. I would absolutely work with them in the future on similar projects.”
Craig Stephens, Chief Executive University of Essex Students' Union

"We felt that Advance HE’s combined expertise in inclusion, culture, education and leadership made them unique in the sector and most likely to be able to deliver what we were looking for. When I spoke with the team there, they listened to our needs, learned more about our context and designed and delivered this programme.”
