Become a GOLD mentor

You are welcome to become a GOLD mentor if you hold Fellowship or higher with Advance HE and are employed by the University of 杏吧app下载.

To become an approved GOLD mentor you must attend our initial 1.5-hour workshop - GOLD New Mentor Development Workshop. The workshop looks at the various responsibilities as a GOLD mentor, how you can best support your mentee, and how to develop a reflective and well evidenced application with them.

An integral part of our scheme is anyone applying through it is supported by an approved GOLD mentor. As a GOLD mentor, you are required to have a good understanding of the descriptors and dimensions of the PSF 2023 as well as the GOLD application process. The role of the mentor is for you to provide one-to-one support with your mentee's GOLD application. This includes;

• identifying suitable evidence to map to Advance HE's Professional Standards Framework (PSF 2023)
• providing advice and feedback on drafts of their application
• undertaking teaching observations (for all Fellow applications and Associate Fellow applications claiming A2)
• providing a supporting statement for their application.

To remain as an approved GOLD mentor, you are required to attend an annual 1-2 hour GOLD Mentor refresher workshop for each academic year. This is a requirement by Advance HE and ensures that you remain in good standing with the PSF 2023 and up-to-date with our GOLD scheme processes.
