Teaching Qualification Certificate

The Dutch University Teaching Qualification (UTQ), also known as BKO (Basis Kwalificatie Onderwijs) certificate, was awarded by Wageningen University & Research (WUR) in the Netherlands in May 2019.

Dutch Universities have created a certificate of quality for university teaching staff. The University Teaching Qualification (UTQ, or BKO in Dutch) is evidence of the teaching skills and educational competences of teaching staff. UTQ provides uniformity both in the competencies which academic teaching staff must acquire and in how these competencies are tested. All Dutch universities agreed to mutually recognize the UTQ. The mutual recognition makes obtaining the UTQ career-wise interesting for anyone who provides education in higher education”.

The following courses were successfully completed to obtain this certificate, and as part of the process, a comprehensive portfolio document of approximately 100 pages was prepared.
