Successful graduates of the program can expect to increase their understanding of the theories and practices of tertiary teaching, through a deeper understanding of how students learn. They will also develop a community of practice, not only amongst fellow candidates at their own institution, but also with others from the partner universities as they participate in elective units from those organisations.

The program's teaching and learning methodology is a balance between theory and practice, enabling staff to develop skills which will not only assist them with their teaching, but also contribute to their own personal development as an academic.
