Computing SKE
“If someone asked me the best way to prepare for ITT, I would have no hesitation in recommending an SKE course. A SKE course is a course that not only increases your subject knowledge but also introduces classroom pedagogy, a course that teaches you how to make your subject interesting and engaging, a course that gives you invaluable resources with which to start your training and new career, a course that gives you an experienced, knowledgeable tutor and, finally, a course that is available to you fully funded, free and asks nothing of you but your commitment and time.”
- Paul Bailey, 8 week Computer Science SKE

Extended access to the course material
SKE students continue to have access to our online resources for 1 year after completing the course, so that they can refer to the online material as they train to become a teacher. Previous students have found this extremely helpful when lesson planning in their first placement school as well as having a valuable relevant source of information to refer back to as and when required.
