To ensure that research postgraduate (RPg) students possess the level of competence and skills required for undertaking the teaching and/or assessment duties assigned by the Faculty/School/Department, a policy was approved by the Teaching and Learning Quality Committee and the former Policy Board of Postgraduate Education that it is mandatory for students concerned to complete the training course Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education offered by the Teaching and Learning Innovation Centre (TALIC) prior to taking up the duties.
Application Procedures
Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Around 24 classes, arranged into 6 cohorts, will be offered each academic year. Online course registration generally opens 4 to 5 weeks prior to the start of each cohort. Please refer to the website of TALIC for details of the course and registration arrangements.
Course Exemption
Students who are able to provide documentary evidence of having obtained equivalent teaching skills training may apply directly, on the recommendation of their supervisors, to TALIC, for exemption.
