Faculty Development Programs, Certificates and Speaking on UptoSkills
Free Faculty Development Programs you can attend for a certificate, plus how to apply to speak at one yourself.
Short answer: The Growth Hub is the part of the dashboard that is about you rather than your students — free FDP webinars, the certificates you earn from them, award programmes, and an application to speak at an FDP yourself.
Faculty Development Programs
A running list of FDP webinars with two tabs — Applied for ones you have signed up to, and Browse All for everything open. Each listing shows the date, time, mode and a full description of what will be covered.
Recent sessions have covered generative AI for startups, AI-driven analytics, question paper blueprinting, Indian Knowledge Systems, deep reinforcement learning and cloud security — a mix of teaching practice and technical subjects.
🎓 FDP webinars are free to attend. Apply, join on the day, and the certificate follows.
My Certificate
Every certificate you earn from webinars and events lands here, ready to download. If the page says you have none yet, you have not completed a webinar or event yet — attending one is what fills it.
Awards
Award programmes open for registration, split into All Awards and Registered. When nothing is running, the list is empty; check back rather than assuming it is broken.
Become a Speaker
If you would rather deliver an FDP than attend one, this is the application. It asks for:
| Section | What it wants |
|---|---|
| Personal Information | Full name and email |
| Professional Profile | WhatsApp number, location, institution or company, job title |
| Availability | When you can speak — "weekends", "monthly" |
| Topic | What knowledge you want to share |
| Experience | A short description of your background and achievements |
What makes a speaker application stand out?
A narrow, specific topic beats a broad one. "Designing rubrics for project-based assessment in engineering" is a session someone can picture; "Teaching Methods" is not. Concrete availability helps too — vague availability is hard to schedule around.
Do FDP certificates cost anything?
No. Attending an FDP and receiving the certificate are both free.
Are FDP sessions online or in person?
Each listing states its mode. Most are online, which is why faculty from anywhere in India can attend.
Why is my certificate not showing after a webinar?
Certificates are issued after the session is completed and attendance is processed, so there is a gap between the webinar ending and the certificate appearing. If it has been several days, use Contact Us.
