ELIGIBILITY
Our SKE courses are designed for ITT participants who need to gain the depth of knowledge needed to train to teach their chosen subject. To be able to undertake a SKE course this must be set as a CONDITION for your ITT OFFER and your ITT provider must agree that without the course you would be highly unlikely to meet the subject knowledge requirements of the Teachers’ Standards by the time your ITT is completed.
- SKE is set as a condition of your ITT offer
- Your ITT subject focus and SKE match
- Your degree in your ITT subject focus was not awarded in the last five years
- You have a degree 2:2 or above.
If your SKE and ITT do not overlap your bursary payment will be £175 a week for full time study to reflect 25 hours study as set by the DfE (pro rata for part time)
