ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

The Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCHE) is a specialized postgraduate program designed to enhance the teaching and learning capabilities of educators within the higher education sector. The program provides a practical and theoretical grounding in learning and teaching in higher education and emphasises the links between conceptual frameworks and teaching practice. This is a vital developmental qualification for both new members of academic staff who are just embarking on a career in Higher Education, as well as those who may have been teaching for a while but have had no formal guidance in learning and teaching strategies, and the effective use of technology in higher education settings.

The total cost of the programme is $850 (one-time payment) or $145 per module (staggered payment).

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The learning outcomes of this programme include higher education teachers’ ability to:

  • Apply their knowledge of core content and pedagogy to set goals and objectives for learning based on state and national standards and local curriculum, and design instruction that engages students in meaningful learning.
  • Demonstrate their understanding of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains, and other characteristics of their diverse learners, and create an environment of respect, rapport, collaboration and a culture for learning.
