Professional Recognition
The Higher Education Academy runs a Professional Recognition scheme whereby Academics can become an Associate, Fellow or Senior Fellow of the Academy. The aim of this is to offer public recognition of the expertise and commitment of those so recognised to the student learning experience. The basis for the award of these is an assessment against The UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and supporting learning in higher education. The HEA provides an indicator of professional identity for higher education practitioners, including the entitlement to use post-nominal letters:
- AFHEA – Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
- FHEA – Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
- SFHEA - Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
- PFHEA – Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
