Universities worldwide are under growing pressure to deliver high-quality, inclusive, and future-focused teaching and learning. The global higher education landscape is being reshaped by:

A scalable model for teacher development
We offer a flexible, tiered model of support that enables institutions to start small and scale up according to need:
Workshops and masterclasses – Targeted skills development
Short, focused interventions that address core themes such as AI, inclusive learning, assessment and feedback or digital pedagogy. These sessions are designed to strengthen essential teaching skills and can be tailored to specific departmental or institutional priorities.
Programmes for teaching development – Sustained professional growth
Building on workshops, longer programmes provide structured opportunities for educators to deepen their expertise. Delivered online, face-to-face or blended, these programmes support staff to reflect on practice, implement change and in many cases, progress to Advance HE Fellowship.
Train-the-trainer models – Embedding capacity within the institution
For institutions seeking to scale impact sustainably, Advance HE provides train-the-trainer models. These equip internal champions to deliver teaching development themselves, embedding knowledge and practice within the institution’s culture. This model enables institutions to:
- Build internal capability and resilience.
- Ensure alignment with local strategies and values.
- Create a community of practice that drives continuous improvement.
Strategic consultancy – Tailored institutional solutions
At the highest level, bespoke consultancy allows institutions to address unique challenges and ambitions. From curriculum transformation to embedding inclusive pedagogies, our consultancy is co-created with institutional leaders to deliver lasting impact.
