Levels of Development

 

BRONZE

Bronze level is an introduction to teaching. You'll discover areas for development by completing the Dundee 3-circle outcomes model. Your self assessment will guide the modules you take and you will have the opportunity to put your new skills into practice.

SILVER

Silver builds on your teaching practice. It gives you more opportunity to teach, and allows you to learn from the feedback you receive.

GOLD

For Gold you will work to attain Level 1 of the Clinical Educator Programme, completing an observed teaching session and receiving feedback from your assessor and students.
