Advance HE runs two award programmes that recognise, promote and share teaching excellence in UK higher education. The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTF) and the Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE) highlight the exceptional contributions of individuals and teams who teach or support learning in UK higher education. These awards celebrate their achievements and offer a platform for sharing their expertise.
The NTFS has made a significant impact on both student outcomes and the teaching profession in higher education. Launched in 2000, it has made a considerable contribution to the sector's efforts to continuously improve learning and teaching for the benefit of students and society.
This site was set up to promote the NTF Scheme. You will find details of our past NTF winners and details on how to apply.

The Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE) recognises and rewards collaborative work that has had a demonstrable impact on teaching and learning. Introduced in 2016, the scheme highlights the key role of teamwork in higher education.
Being in a position to apply for an NTF or CATE award is not something that happens overnight. Usually it takes several years of planning, excellent achievement and continuous professional development. So, it is never too soon to come to a session or make contact with the team to discuss how you can get started.
