Computing Curriculum Training
Practical, hands-on professional development focused on the national computing curriculum. Build your confidence and skills to deliver outstanding computing lessons.
Designed for Non-Specialist Teachers
Many primary teachers and non-specialist secondary teachers find themselves responsible for delivering computing without formal training in the subject. Our computing curriculum training is designed specifically for these teachers, building confidence, subject knowledge, and practical skills from the ground up.
Every session is delivered by qualified computing teachers with current classroom experience. We focus on practical, hands-on activities that you can take straight back to your classroom. No jargon, no assumptions about prior knowledge. Just clear, supportive training that works.
Whether you need a one-off twilight session on a specific topic or a full programme of ongoing support, we tailor our training to your school’s needs and your staff’s starting points.
