UK Advising and Tutoring Recognition – An Introduction

UK Advising and Tutoring Recognition – An Introduction

Colleagues who put a lot of time and effort into academic advising and personal tutoring may wish to seek recognition for their efforts. YSJ is an institutional member of an sector-wide organisation called UK Advising & Tutoring (UKAT) which offers three levels of recognition and runs cohorts throughout the year. As part of our institutional membership, we are able to support up to 20 colleagues per year to achieve this nationally acknowledged recognition of practice at no cost to staff. If you would like to hear more about the process and requirements of achieving recognition, as well as explore an example of a successful previous claim, you are invited to attend this introductory session. This introductory session will be led by Dr Mark Dransfield. Strategic links This session links with: LTSE strategy 2026 1.3 Booking To book a place on this event, click here....
