Course content

Our PG Certificate Clinical Education offers you the ideal opportunity to learn from experienced clinical educators in an inter-professional context. Our teaching combines workshops and distance learning, and our course activities are designed to facilitate critical thinking, collaboration, workplace-based reflection and learning, and professional development. Some sessions are synchronous. Attendance and participation in synchronous sessions are required to get the most out of the course.

The course attracts students from a variety of professional backgrounds, across the fields of health and social care. This rich mix of student knowledge, skills and experience is an incredible resource, challenging you to think about the diverse ways different people learn and helping you grow into an adaptable and creative teacher in the future.
Throughout the course, you’ll explore advances in both theory and practice in clinical education, and you’ll apply what you have learned to work-based projects. You’ll increase your knowledge and skills and broaden your perspective.
About
Studying for a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Education at UEA will set you apart as a leader and educator in your field. Designed for health and social care professionals, it is a wonderful way to develop your teaching, support, and supervision skills, so that you can help others to learn, whether in clinical practice or higher education.
You can complete your PG Cert qualification in one year part-time, during which you’ll explore clinical education theory and practice and apply your knowledge and skills to work-based projects. You’ll develop fresh insights and get motivated to bring about change and promote excellence in clinical education.
If you are an excellent communicator and have a desire and aptitude for teaching, our course will open new doors for you. You could become a full-time educator, a mentor, or a supervisor in a health care setting. Either way, you’ll graduate ready to train and inspire the healthcare workforce of the future.
You’ll need to have access to teaching opportunities while you are on the course, to enable you to make concrete theory-practice links, and to facilitate work-based projects.
If you do not have access to such opportunities for teaching, your course director will endeavour to identify suitable teaching opportunities for you. However, you’ll need to notify us about this before commencing the course.
