Hello Jess
University of Glasgow offers two programmes to enhance PhD studentsą
teaching. One programme is called Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTA)
Statutory training and it is provided to postgraduate students, tutors and
demonstrators who are new to teaching.
My centre, Learning and Teaching Centre, organises and delivers a 3-hour
GTA statutory session for GTAs who are recommended by the
School/Department. Each School/department offers another 3 hours training
to their GTAs before they start to
teach:http://www.gla.ac.uk/services/learningteaching/taughtcourses/graduate
teachingassistantstutorsanddemonstratorsstatutorytraining/
Apart from the GTA statutory training, my centre offers a Developing as a
Teachers (DAT) programme which provides a series of workshops and seminars
to enhance early career teachersą teaching practice. This programme
provides an overview of topics of learning, teaching and assessment. The
DAT programme supports participants in their application for the AFHEA:

Look forward to knowing the practices in other institutions.
Best wishes
