Lecturers Complete Professional Teaching Qualifications

Twenty-six (26) staff from across SERC have successfully completed Certificate in Teaching (CIT) and Postgraduate Certificate in Education – Further Education (PGCE FE) qualifications through Ulster University.

Diane Weatherup, Head of SERC’s Learning Academy said, “Our staff team bring a wealth of knowledge and experience from industry, since most of them have worked in their specialist areas for several years.   Completing professional teaching qualifications such as the CIT or PGCE consolidates their dedication to pedagogy and equips them with a range of innovative solutions for engaging students. As part of their professional development, staff have delved into projects which include digital literacy, the impact of AI-generated peer assessment tools and idea generation, and the development of narratives in art, offering valuable insights and research to our teaching team.”

She added, “SERC is committed to continually developing staff to future-proof the demands of further and higher education and training for all our students who will be integral to the growth of the economy.”
