Why complete an SKE or Subject Booster course?
Successful completion of an SKE or Subject Booster course may form part of the conditions of an offer of a place to study on the corresponding PGCE.
The courses help to identify areas for development and provide a range of opportunities for additional study in your specialist subject.
As such, the course structure and length of study is flexible and varies depending on your individual subject knowledge requirements. These requirements are assessed during your application. Each two-week unit typically entails 50 hours of learning time, with a blend of taught input and supported self-study.
When applying for any of our SKE and Subject Booster courses, you will be required to read our Privacy Notice document.
