The PREP programme is changing. Advance HE is making updates to the Professional Standards Framework from June 2024 and it will now be known as PSF 2023.
The Professional Recognition of Educator Practice Framework (PREP) offers all staff involved in teaching and supporting learning the opportunity to develop and evidence their educator activities, knowledge and professional values throughout their career. PREP provides a process by which recognition by Advance HE at Associate Fellow, Fellow, Senior Fellow or Principal Fellow can be achieved.
The current programme (UKPSF 2011) will close on 30 June 2024, and colleagues applying for fellowship (any category) using UKPSF 2011 will need to submit their portfolio by 17:00 on 30 June 2024. This is a hard deadline, there can be no extensions or exceptions. Any submissions for UKPSF 2011 received after this time will not be accepted.
The new programme will be implemented in October 2024.
