We are delighted to have Bishop Grosseteste University as our partner this year, offering Distance Learning Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) courses to Science and Maths Trainees with a conditional place on an Initial Teacher Training (ITT) programme.
SKE courses are intended to boost teacher trainees' subject knowledge prior to ITT to enable successful progression to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). They are particularly useful for those whose academic background omits aspects of their SKE specialist subject at a level necessary for teaching it in secondary schools.
All of our SKE courses are funded by the NCTL and are therefore free to participants. Additionally, eligible NCTL-funded SKE trainees are entitled to a tax-free bursary. The bursary is dependent on attendance and progression at the required rate.
These popular courses are distance learning with a final practical module that requires attendance at the University (science courses only). Our courses are rich with online resources that are underpinned by our celebrated interactive videos. Use the menu on the left to select a course, read further course information and apply online.
