Participants on one of our Computer Science courses have access to the same modules in Mathematics to supplement their learning.
All Computer Science participants will have access to the Computer Science KS3 module which will lay a foundation through KS2, KS3 and the transition to GCSE. For some participants will be a core module, others can study this as an optional module.
The new module also incorporates Virtual Lessons, examples of structured Mathematics lessons. You will enjoy access to all of this for two further years following completion of your course.
Eligibility and enrolling on a course
Trainees:
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. Your degree must not be in Computer Science or have been obtained longer than 5 years ago.
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. To apply for a DfE funded SKE course please go to: https://ske.vidlearn.ac.uk/partners/yhtt.html#cs
Teachers/others:
If you do not meet the eligibility criteria for a DfE funded SKE course and wish to self-fund please go to: https://yorkshireandhumberteachertraining.co.uk/ske#selffundedlinks
