Education

The Education family sits within the Technical Professionals' practice area. An example career pathway could take you from Junior Technician to Technical Operations Manager.

What is Education?

Technical Professionals in the Education job family play a vital role in supporting student learning at UCL.  Although many staff in this area will be responsible for setting up practical classes, a large number will contribute for the designing, delivering, and assessing students’ work. Technical staff at UCL, contribute to deliver teaching to undergraduates, postgraduate students and also members of staff.

Technical staff play a vital role in teaching and supporting the learning of students within UK higher education (HE). They are increasingly being relied upon to design and deliver teaching and learning activities and, in many cases, to engage in formative and summative assessment2.

Technical staff at UCL are also encouraged to apply and engage on ‘teaching fellowship’ accreditation programmes, awarded by Advance HE (formerly HEA) and their professional standards framework. UCL is accredited to award Advance HE Fellowship accreditation, through the ARENA centre and several technical professionals at UCL are accredited with AFHEA, FHEA and SFHEA.
