Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE)
Subject Knowledge Enhancement (SKE) courses are designed to help potential Initial Teacher Training (ITT) trainees gain the depth of knowledge needed to train to teach their chosen subject.
The SKE courses are designed for students due to embark on their Initial Teacher Training (ITT) who need to strengthen their existing subject knowledge.
If you have received your offer letter for an ITT course and you have to complete an SKE as a condition, please contact us at pld@hope.ac.uk for further information and guidance.
