Free with every Computer Science course

Enrol on one of our Computer Science courses and you will have access to the same modules in mathematics to supplement your learning.

New this year is our KS3 4 week Computer Science module which will lay a foundation through KS2, KS3 and the transition to GCSE. All Computer Science trainees will have access to this module, some as a core module, others as an optional module. The new module also incorporates Virtual Lessons, which are examples of structured Computer Science lessons.

You will enjoy access to all of these resources for a further two years throughout your Teacher Training and NQT years.

Eligibility criteria

To apply for one of our Computer Science SKE courses, you will need to have been offered a place on a Teacher Training Programme in Computer Science (or qualifying programme) with successful completion of an SKE a condition of that offer.

It is important that you discuss with your provider which of our courses is most suited to your needs and have a clear idea of the duration of the SKE required. Each partner supplies their own tutors and course leaders plus additional and unique educational components.
