Getting started
Foundations in Teaching
Are you new to teaching or new to teaching in Leeds? Foundations in Teaching (FiT) is designed to equip anyone new to teaching, or new to teaching at the University of Leeds, with the necessary information to help them get started in teaching.
FiT is an online self-paced course that you can start at anytime and there is no time limit to complete it. As a guide, we estimate that reading the core content will take approximately 3 hours, with an additional 2-4 hours recommended for optional activities and exploring related links.
All PGRs who engage in teaching must complete FiT and it is expected that it is completed in advance of commencing teaching. For more information please read our guide below and the Code of Practice for PGRs Engaged in Teaching.
Please book onto the Foundations in Teaching course through the following link. Once signed up, access will be given to the course in Minerva.

- Planning and designing teaching sessions
- Let's talk about delivering your teaching
- Assessment and marking
- Effective feedback
