As a minimum, our SKE programmes are the equivalent of eight weeks full time study. Some can be up to 28 weeks, depending on whether you need to top up your subject knowledge or need something more in-depth; can be run before your ITT training or alongside. Eligible trainees may also receive a Bursary whilst they train. Courses are designed specifically for: Graduates wishing to take up teaching as a career change Graduates in a subject other than the one they wish to teach Graduates with a non-traditional background requiring subject knowledge enhancement Graduates wishing to improve their subject knowledge and gain teaching strategies and resources. These courses offer such candidates a chance to achieve the breadth of knowledge required for teaching their chosen subject. They also allow participants to experience a range of teaching styles and strategies as well as providing access to a wealth of resources delivered through a blend of learning strategies, including face to face, distance learning, lesson observation and research.
SKEs are now available for primary maths and PE applicants looking to train to teach an additional EBacc subject.
