Professional Development in Learning and Teaching

LeTS staff have broad-based expertise in areas of professional development for learning and teaching. We support teaching practice through accreditation, certificates, award programmes and events. We run a range of scheduled courses and workshops to help staff develop the effectiveness of their teaching and evaluate student learning.

Certificate in Learning and Teaching (CiLT)

The Certificate in Learning and Teaching (CiLT) is the University's professional development programme for academic staff on probation. The course is specifically designed to meet both the needs of staff new to higher education teaching and new to the research-led environment of Sheffield University.
