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.

All courses including core or optional modules in GCSE Computer Science will have access to our exclusive 49 supplementary GCSE Virtual Lessons in Computer Science. These are full video lessons including starters, activities and plenaries. You can use these to target your learning to your own areas for improvement. These lesson resources are also a great source of inspiration for your own lessons as you complete your teacher training and NQT years.

Our KS3 4 week Computer Science module lays 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 KS3 module also incorporates a selection of Virtual Lessons.

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