This course is designed for those wishing to enhance their current subject knowledge in Computer Science before transferring to a PGCE or School Direct Training Programme.

This is a full-time, 12 week Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) course for graduates with a degree in a subject other than Computer Science or a related area, who wish to train as secondary Computer Science teachers.

The aim is to provide the breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding that you need to teach secondary Computer Science confidently and competently. The course is well-established and there are many successful teachers of Computer Science in our region who began their training by completing it.

This SKE course is fully funded by the Teaching Agency and you will receive a tax free bursary of £208 per week for the duration of the course.
