“I have found this course to be a fantastic preparation for my PGCE in Secondary Physics. In addition to rounding out my knowledge of the topics covered, it has provided me with an insight into pedagogy and practical experience of teaching practice, such as lesson planning and even carrying out learning activities.
The course has far surpassed my expectations, preparing me in terms of both knowledge of physics and education in general. While I have found some of the subject matter and the exercises challenging, the material and tutorial support have been of a consistently high standard.”

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.
