The TQFE Programme at University of Aberdeen was accredited with commendation by the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) and is underpinned by the Professional Standards for Lecturers in Scotland’s Colleges (2018).

An online route is available for individuals or small numbers of participants from different colleges. TQFE is available at SCQF level 9 (part of the BA Professional Development programme) and level 11 (part of the Masters in Education programme).
