UKCLE work with the CETLs

About CETLs

74 Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETLs) were set up by HEFCE in January 2005, with a further seven centres established in Northern Ireland. The CETLs initiative aimed to embed excellence in teaching throughout the sector – see the Higher Education Academy’s CETLs pages for more information and a full list of the centres.
