Introduction to APP EXP Mentoring

Background to APP EXP Mentoring

APP EXP is Warwick's scheme leading to fellowship of the HEA. It is accredited by Advance HE and has run successfully for six years. An APP EXP mentor works with participants on APP EXP, offering support as they prepare their applications. The success of the APP EXP pathway is dependent crucially on this pool of mentors who work with individual applicants. The role is important and requires high levels of knowledge and understanding of both the PSF and the APP EXP pathway itself. All APP EXP mentors will themselves have either FHEA, SHEA or PFHEA. In order to become an APP EXP mentor it is necessary to undertake induction activities and be an active member of the APP EXP mentor and assessor network. 

'Introduction to APP EXP mentoring' workshops

Prior to becoming a full member of the APP EXP mentor and assessor network it will be necessary to attend two induction sessions.

Workshop 1: Introduction to APP EXP Mentoring (2 hours)

This workshop is intended to provide the background necessary to start as a mentor to colleagues applying for HEA Fellowship (D1, D2 and D3) through the APP EXP Pathway. The session will include:

  • An overview of the role of mentors on the APP APP EXP Pathway
  • An overview of the processes for applying to APP EXP and the APP EXP Moodle area
  • A discussion of the key questions for a mentor to ask mentees and some activities that might be useful for mentees to undertake
  • An initial exploration of the standards applied in assessing applications.

Workshop 2: More on APP EXP Mentoring (to take place about 6 months after initial meeting, ideally after having done some mentoring, 2 hours)

This second workshop will build on the content of the first, ideally taking place after some mentoring activity. In this session we will:

  • Explore some real scenarios faced by mentors and discuss possible ways ahead. 
  • Further consider the requirements for each category of fellowship.
  • Consider in detail the content of the APP EXP applications forms and how these might be used to as part of the mentoring process.
  • An opportunity for any questions.  

Please complete this form to register your attendance at the workshops.
