At Christ Church I run a two-day annual workshop for PhD students on intro L and T followed by some discussion of ways to link research and teaching – repeated twice a year. For those with assessing and examining responsibilities this is followed up by a separate workshop, which is repeated three times a year.
If they choose – and are actually doing some teaching at that point - they can then elect to put a portfolio together worth 20 master’s credits - where they will also need a mentor - and which mirrors the core (introductory part) of our PG Cert programme. This is accredited by the HEA for AFHEA, and will grant them exemption from the first 20 credits of the PG Cert programme should they subsequently secure a post of 0.5 or above at the university.
This year I’m also running some practical workshops – non-credit bearing for those who have no teaching experience – to complement the workshops – which will be open to any one who cares to come along.

Hello Sally,
At Keele there are two short courses, Demonstrator Training and Introduction to Teaching, which are recognised within the PGR training handbook and their training credit framework. They are preparation for teaching courses (but without the necessity to be doing any at the time of study.) We use the 'in at the Deep End' publication by Phil Race on both courses and it is very well received.
There is also a 30 credit module, the first of our PG Cert, that leads to AFHEA but it does require recent and concurrent teaching experience and agreement from the Head of School and supervisor to attend. Schools also need to assign a mentor for local support with the teaching role.
Finally, and importantly I think, PGRs are also able to attend any of the teaching support workshops that run throughout the year that are run by the Centre and we will work with Schools on specific support needs.
Looking forward to seeing how this sits within the context of how other Universities have configured their offer.
All best,
Jac Potter,

I've just re-read my last email , and realise that I did not answer Sally's query! Sorry, Sally!
So, I would like to add that we also run the SEDA pdf programme Supporting Learning with four half days attendance, plus various portfolio activities. This leads to AFHEA after completion of the coursework. It is open to all PhD students with a teaching / seminar / demonstrating commitment, and some of our participants have successfully moved on to permanent academic posts at Roehampton.
The SEDA pdf programmes offer a very useful framework for staff development at all levels, have a look at the whole range at: http://www.sweda.ac.uk/pdf.html
best wishes
