UK Professional Standards
Frameworks (UKPSF)
The UKPSF is the cornerstone for standards in
teaching excellence and staff development in
higher education.
It offers universities and colleges a set of criteria,
developed with the sector, against which
institutions can align their initial and continuing
professional development for staff.
HEA recognition against the
UKPSF
1. The direct application
route (based on an
individual’s experience)
2. By successful completion of
an accredited institutional
programme or scheme
(including CPD schemes
and taught provision)
The HEA recognises staff against the Framework in two
ways:
